Does VWAHX avoid AMT?
Re: VWAHX
Note that per SEC requirements, this number has to be less than 20% for a fund to bear the name "tax-exempt".rkhusky wrote:The portfolio page for Vanguard High-Yield Tax-Exempt Fund Investor lists 16.9% for the percentage of the fund's income subject to the AMT.

Good to know.
I will look into CEF National Munis which are tax exempt.

The rest of VG TE funds do not hold PABs.
I always wanted to be a procrastinator.
Re: VWAHX [Vanguard High-Yield Tax-Exempt Fund]
PABs are one reason this fund is "high yield". Since they aren't really tax free for everyone, they carry higher interest rates, all else being equal. Which may be good if you aren't paying AMT (higher yield for same credit quality), but not if you are paying AMT.
