  • B. general obligation bonds
  • C. an investment-grade corporate bond
  • D. Both Selections A and B would serve to minimize his payments to the IRS.

Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
General obligation bonds would serve to minimize Mr. Richs payments to the IRS. These are a type of municipal bond, which pays interest that is tax-exempt at the federal level (and at the state and city level under certain circumstances.) Income earned on U.S. Treasury bills and corporate bonds is fully taxable at the federal level.
