| Gina | with respect to interest; but still subject to federal income tax on capital gains. |
| katybo | I thought they were "generally" exempt not always. |
| Done | Captial gains tax is not federal income tax |
| steved333 | Done is right, although, as the tax code stands today, if those gains are earned in a year or less, cap gains tax is at your marginal bracket. 366+ days= 15%, just like dividends... |
| joywind | So taxable municipal bonds which is subject to federal income tax is not part of municipal bonds? |
| jonan203 | typically, if you buy a bond from the state you live in, they will be triple tax free (federal, state & local) however, if a CA resident purchased a CT muni, he'd have to pay CA income taxes on the interest he receives from the CT muni. |
| dbedford | One form of govt can't tax another |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
