Healthcare plan should have no effect on income from munis

Q

Will any of the new taxes in the just-passed healthcare bill have potential impact on the income from municipal bonds?

K.F., Ohio

A

James A. Klotz responds:

Although the new healthcare bill imposes a 3.8% tax on interest income, it does not appear that this will apply to interest from tax-free bonds.
