Thanks DCW54. You are right. TreasuryDirect.gov allows purchase up to $5,000 in paper i bonds for each social security number with their tax return, and this is in addition to $10,000 limit each person has for online purchases. That should therefore be available in Turbotax, for MFJ filers, imo, but isn't! Do other tax prep companies allow $5K each for MFJs or is the discrepancy actually between IRS rules and TreasuryDirect.gov rules?
