T-Bill Tax Considerations
The interest income that you may receive from investing in a treasury bill is exempt from any state or local income taxes, regardless of the state where you file your taxes. However, you will need to report interest income from these investments on your federal tax return.
While interest rates and inflation can affect Treasury bill rates, they're generally considered a lower-risk (but lower-reward) investment than other debt securities. Treasury bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. If held to maturity, T-bills are considered virtually risk-free.
Bonds and Notes
Notes are relatively short or medium-term securities that mature in 2, 3, 5, 7, or 10 years. Both bonds and notes pay interest every six months.
How do I buy Treasury bonds? You can buy Treasury bonds directly from the U.S. Treasury at TreasuryDirect. You can also buy Treasuries on the open market through your investment broker. Most brokers offer a search tool to help investors find bonds that fit their portfolio.
You can buy (bid for) Treasury marketable securities through: your TreasuryDirect account — non-competitive bids only. a bank, broker, or dealer — competitive and non-competitive bids.
