Qualified U.S. savings bonds.
A qualified U.S. savings bond is a series EE bond issued after 1989 or a series I bond. The bond must be issued either in your name (as the sole owner) or in the name of both you and your spouse (as co-owners).
The owner must be at least 24 years old before the bond's issue date. The issue date is printed on the front of the savings bond.
