Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My knee jerk reaction would be that you have to wait until the year you get the first interest payment from that new bond purchase position.  Pretty sure each purchase would have to be dealt with separately, at least for that particular purpose.

 

But I can't immediately point to any publication rules which deal with that specifically.  

 

Maybe someone else has better knowledge, or a reference.
