Under present federal income tax law, the interest received from municipal bonds is free from federal income taxes (The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association). The Republican-controlled Congress has put tax reform high on the agenda and may try to eliminate or cap the tax exemptions on municipal bonds (Bloomberg, Bloomberg, The Hill).
