Why some bonds are taxable in Federal as well State?

Nearly all bonds are taxable both federal and state. To be exact, the interest the bonds pay is taxable (as well as any capital gain resulting from trading bonds). The reason is that the tax code taxes interest. Bonds are a way of borrowing money and paying interest to the lender. Bonds issued by the federal government are exempt from state taxes. Bonds issued by states and municipalities are mostly exempt from federal taxes (and exempt from taxes in the state that issued them in some states).
