I was already surprised to learn about the 'bond' involved in buying into TV and had never heard of it anywhere else. This latest dialogue involving the IRS and taxable non-taxable bonds is making me think perhaps TV in not the right place for me on a retirees income. I dont want anymore $$$ surprises than life already throws my way.
Mary Ann,

The bond associated with your home in TV is a common practice in many areas.

Again, we can speculate until the Buffalo "come home" but it is just speculation.

There are a couple of threads on this topic that may be worth a search for your own piece of mind. I went through some basics of how bonds work a couple of times.
