Some Municipal Bonds are Federally Taxable. The federal government does not tax most activities of states and municipalities, giving most muni bonds tax-exempt status, but some activities do not fall under this tax exemption.
Municipal Bond Funds. The Internal Revenue Service does not require investors who own most types of municipal bonds to pay taxes on bond interest payments. Likewise, shareholders of mutual funds containing municipal bonds typically do not have to pay interest on fund dividends. However, shareholders do have to pay capital gains tax if they sell shares for a price in excess of the original purchase price.
