Municipal bonds are fixed income investments that are debt obligations of various state and local governments. The funds may be used to support general governmental needs or special projects. Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, virtually all municipal obligations were exempt from federal income taxes (Alternative Minimum Tax could apply) and most state and local income taxes in the bond's state of issuance. The 1986 Act, however, divided municipal bonds into 2 categories: (1) Public purpose bonds are tax-exempt because they are issued for projects for use of the general public; (2) Private purpose bonds are taxable because they are issued for projects that are used for private purposes.

Before the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest paid on municipal bonds was exempt from federal income tax and state and local income tax within the issuing state.

Public purpose bonds are tax-exempt and may be issued without limitations. Private purpose bonds are taxable unless specifically exempted. The difference between public and private purpose bonds is based on the percentage in which the bonds benefit private parties.
