Interest income generated by municipal bonds is generally expected to be free from federal income taxes and, if the bonds are held by an investor resident in the state of issuance, state and local income taxes. Such interest income may be subject to federal and/or state alternative minimum taxes. Short- and long-term capital gains and gains characterized as market discount recognized when bonds are sold or mature are generally taxable at both the state and federal level. Investing in municipal bonds for the purpose of generating tax-exempt income is generally more beneficial the higher an investor's tax bracket. Tax-advantaged accounts such as IRAs and 401(k)s are generally not appropriate for holding tax-exempt municipal securities. Market prices of zero coupon bonds tend to be more volatile than bonds which pay interest regularly. The full value of zero coupon bonds, including accrued interest, is not paid until maturity. Interest on taxable zero-coupon bonds is imputed annually as accreted interest and is subject to income taxes even though no payment is actually received by the investor in that year. This is often referred to as "phantom interest."
