Taxpayer Identifying Numbers on Series H and K Savings Bonds
Issued in Coownership Form

To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Our Circular No. 5290, dated January 24, 1963, transmitted a letter of the
Treasury Department, requesting banking institutions submitting applications for
Series H savings bonds to be issued in coownership form to furnish the Social
Security number of the first-named coowner. This requirement has now been modified
by the Treasury Department to conform it to the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Service. Consequently, on applications for issues of H bonds and reissues
of H and K bonds in coownership form, the Social Security number o f either coowner
may be furnished, except that when the coowners are husband and wife, the number
of the husband should be furnished, and when the coowners are an adult and a minor,
the number of the adult should be furnished.
As to outstanding Series H and K savings bonds, the Treasury Department has
informed us that it plans to request holders to furnish taxpayer identifying numbers.
