I guess you could if you were....but I am unfamiliar with any part of the tax law that would considered any person as tax exempt! Certainly some (actually many) don't pay tax, but that isn't because they are exempt but because they they didn't earn enough net "taxable income" (even if they made a lot of money). The withholding rules consider this and the income that shouldn't be taxed wouldn't have to have any income withheld, which is all done by properly completing the W-4 or W-9.

Obviously, you would still have to file and report and show that your income wasn't of the type that is taxable, even if you don't have to pay.

And if your saying this as part of one of the tax protester type arguments that try and use thoughts like these in their arguments, be aware...those are all not only absurd and garbage, proven incorrect at every level by every court....the Courts have gotten so tired of addressing the stupidity of those bringing them that it is, not just dismissed as frivalous (and perhaps considered worse) the law a TRIPLE penalty is made against anyone doing so...as well as other sanctions.

No, your not going to find some way to outsmart all those that came before, and are doing so now, and and make yourself not have to pay by some proclamation or such. If such a "loophole" existed, what do you think, a law closing it would take 5 minutes to pass? Well, maybe less! REALLY.

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).
