Banking Products

Just a general question and maybe fuel for thought. Are products (Cd's, MM accounts, RCA's and on) being offered by financial institutions (Banks, Credit Unions & etc.) that we talk about here which from our homes or offices can be bought over the internet from a location out of state taxable? I noticed in todays local paper the congress endorsed a measure that would allow states to tax out of state internet purchases and was curious if that could become a possibility? Comments most welcome and thanks.

Klink, those transactions would not be taxable. We think of our activity as "purchasing" CDs, Money Markets, etc., but what we are really doing is opening new accounts. That activity is not taxable.

Yet.

Let's not give the government any ideas on how to continue to nibble away at our savings. ;=) They have plenty of ideas on how to do that already.
