The Bottom Line. Treasury Bills, or T-bills, are short-term debt obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury Department. They are considered safe investments because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. T-bills are sold at a discount from their face value and mature at face value.

We auction 4-week, 8-week, 13-week, 17-week, and 26-week bills every week. Typically, we auction 13-week and 26-week bills on Monday, the 17-week on Wednesday, and 4-week and 8-week bills on Thursday. We auction the 52-week bill every four weeks.

As with other government securities, investment income on Treasury bills is taxed federally by the Internal Revenue Service. Income earned from Treasury bills is not subject to state tax, and is not subject to local income taxes.

We sell Treasury Bills (Bills) for terms ranging from four weeks to 52 weeks. Bills are sold at a discount or at par (face value). When the bill matures, you are paid its face value. You can hold a bill until it matures or sell it before it matures.
