I think, there is no state tax only if you buy thro treasury direct.
If you buy thro any broker state tax applies…
Correct me if I'm wrong…

I would recommend finding one solid savings account that updates their APY regularly as rates increase (I use UFB direct Savings), versus chasing down each 0.1% increase you come across every month. Lots of smaller companies offer great rates like this to get people in the door, then it dwindles once they have their desired clients.

The Vanguard settlement fund option VMFXX (Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund) has a yield just above 5% right now with the added perk of not having an awful UI and referral notification spam like WeBull.

Tbill has no purchase limit and will pay out regardless of debt ceiling.

This is incorrect.

Treasury Bill interest is state tax-exempt whether you buy it from a brokerage, either at auction or on the secondary market, the same as if it is purchased at auction at Treasury Direct.

It could get a bit more complicated if you sell the bill before maturity, with part of the difference in price being considered interest and the rest a short-term capital gain or loss. A capital gain or loss would not be state-tax exempt.

T-Bills do not have meaningful purchase limits for the vast majority of people. The limit at auction was recently raised to $10 million from $5 million for each security type and term, for each auction.


You can also buy large amounts on the secondary market. The Treasury can ask for more information if you try to buy a large amount of a single bond. For example, they requested more information [treasurydirect.gov] about everyone that owned $5.2 billion or more of the February 2024 note last year.

I agree that the debt ceiling can create a default risk with any Treasury investment. Note that other cash investments also have risks. For example, the FDIC holds most of its investments in Treasuries. It is very difficult to compare these risks, so I won't attempt to do so here.

Generally, T-Bills are very liquid and if held at a brokerage, can be sold on the secondary market on any bond market trading day.

Different brokerages may have different bid prices, so you may be able to get a better price when selling at one brokerage than others. Not all brokerages may support secondary market trades, but you should be able to transfer your bills to one that does.

If held at TreasuryDirect, it can be difficult to sell before maturity, since it would first need to be transferred to a brokerage, which can be onerous.

If US government defaults, every bank/broker you know would default too

Just remember tbill yield is for the year not duration, just like you deposit. Also when you buy, you don't pay the amount you buy, you pay the amount that will get you the total you selected. So if you buy 52 weeks at 5% of $1000, you will actually pay $952 and they will give you back $1000 at the end of 52 weeks..
If you buy 26 weeks, it will be half of the difference, or 13 weeks will be 1/4 of that and so on..

This is why I love SD. Thanks for this. I already have a Vanguard account and never knew about this. Do you know how much this is insured for by fdic (or spic)? 250k single and 500k joint? Is it for the whole account?
