How do i know who us savings bond interest belongs to?

[jcoldsjr687]

Husband cashed US savings bonds that stopped earning interest in 2015.  Bonds say "Gift" and SS# that must be the purchaser's. Then, son's name "OR"  and then husband's name. Received 1099 w/ husband's SS # . How know if the interest  belongs to son, my husband, or half to each of them? If some or all should belong to our son, how do we fix it?

Whoever has their SSN reported on the 1099-INT is whose return the interest should be reported on.
