Tax-Exempt, Taxable, and After-Tax Yields

This branch covers yield language that changes once tax treatment is considered: taxable yield, after-tax yield, tax-exempt income, tax-exempt securities, and taxable accounts.

It is most useful for comparing bonds, funds, and account types where a higher stated yield may not mean a better investor outcome after taxes.
