Is municipal bond interest tax-free?

Quick Answer

Most municipal bond interest is fully exempt from federal income tax, and from state tax when you live in the issuing state ("triple tax-free" in-state munis). Private activity bond interest is exempt for regular tax but a preference item for AMT.
