Money Market Savings Rate

What’s the tax rate on dividends from money market mutual funds?

I’m trying to figure out whether to put some liquid savings in an on-line savings account on which, based on my understanding, the interest is taxable at the marginal income tax rate …. OR in a money market mutual fund which pays dividends … what’s the tax rate applicable on these dividends?

Interest you earn in a savings account is taxed as ordinary income. This means it is taxed the same as your wages.

Dividends from a money market mutual fund are considered dividends, not interest. Dividends get a preferential tax treatment. The maximum rate for dividends is 15%.

So, if you are in the 15% tax bracket or less, there is little or no difference. If you are in a bracket higher than 15%, you will pay less income tax by putting your money into a money market mutual fund.

The First National Bank Of Dad: The Best Way To Teach Kids About Money


The First National Bank Of Dad: The Best Way To Teach Kids About Money


$9.99


Most parents do more harm than good when they try to teach their children about money. They make saving seem like a punishment and force their children to view reckless spending as their only rational choice. To most kids a savings account is just a black hole that swallows birthday checks. David Owen a New Yorker staff writer and the father of two children has devised a revolutionary new way to teach kids about money. In The First National Bank of Dad he explains how he helped his own son and daughter become eager savers and rational spenders. He started by setting up a bank of his own at home and offering his young children an attractively high rate of return on any amount they chose to save. "If you hang on to some of your wealth instead of spending it immediately " he told them "in a little while you’ll be able to double or even triple your allowance." A few years later he started his own stock market and money-market fund for them. Most children already have a pretty good idea of how money works Owen believes; that’s why they are seldom interested in punitive savings schemes mandated by their parents. The first step in making children financially responsible he writes is to take advantage of human nature rather than ignoring it or futilely trying to change it. "My children are often quite irresponsible with my money and why shouldn’t they be?" he writes. "But they are extremely careful with their own." The First National Bank of Dad also explains how to give children real experience with all kinds of investments how to foster their charitable instincts how to make them more helpful around the house how to set their allowances and how to help them acquire a sense of value that goes far beyond money. He also describes at length what he feels is the best investment any parent can make for a child — an idea that will surprise most readers.
