I don't think CIT has anything to do with Citibank.
All fdic insured bank has a 250k protection from the federal government.
You can do this with treasurydirect.gov or a brokerage site like schwab, fidelity, or vanguard etc. They are federally taxed but not state. The latest 4 week t-bill was almost 6%

High short term rates because of looming debt ceiling fiasco. Buyer beware.

What happens if the government don't raise the debt ceiling? Will buying t-bills lost the interest or would you lose your capital? If capital is lost, is it temporary or lost forever?

i was just researching this. if one was to buy t-bill through fidelity, e.g. buying a zero coupon bond at a discount, would i incur capital gain (fed & state taxable)? or is this still state and local tax free?
