This is exactly what I've thought all along. These "non-taxable" bonds had to be legally approved for selling them as such, and if the lawyers/bond consul made a mistake in saying they were "non-taxable" under IRS rules, it would be malpractice on their part.

Why would we home buyers be liable for a seller's misrepresentation to us?
