Investing - Theory, News & General • Taxation of Treasury bills, notes and bonds

Thanks !!
I understand now that short term bond is the bonds matured within 1 yr from issue date. it is not the bonds matured within 1yr from purchase date. Correct?

If you're talking about what Pub 550 is referring to as "Short-term government obligations", then yes. So for tax purposes, it matters.

But generally I pay no attention to what the maturity date was when issued. I just buy whatever looks good at the desired maturity. Might be a bill, note or bond if less than one year left to maturity, but couldn't be a bill if more then one year left to maturity.
