Abstract
The taxation of social security benefits is intertwined with the investment in tax exempt interest: the greater the tax exempt interest, the greater the chance that benefits will be taxed. In fact, some have argued that the tax is, in effect, a joint tax on social security benefits and tax exempt interest. This paper demonstrates that, although the returns from tax exempt interest are reduced on an absolute basis, they have increased relative to taxable returns.
