An adjustment in the current amount of reportable interest on a U.S. savings bond. In some cases, the taxpayer has already reported some of the interest that was earned and must therefore reduce the current amount of taxable interest. The U.S. Savings Bond adjustment is therefore allowed to avoid double taxation of the same income.
