Tax exempt interest is not subject to State or/and Federal level income taxes. Mostly, it comes from a municipal bond and also the dividends that come from municipal bonds are tax exempt. It is mandatory to report tax exempt interest in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or any other relevant authorities operating in that particular state..
