I live in a high state tax place.
When I compare cd rates to treasury rates within a regular taxable account that is NOT an ira, I always take into consideration the fact that interest earned on treasuries are not taxed in my state but interest earned on cds are taxed in this state. I understand this is appropriate.
However, I just heard through the grapevine that when , in a traditional IRA account, I would be mistaken to adjust the treasury rate, Is this correct, and if so, what is the reasoning?
Thank you.
