Over 240 Tax Free Dividend Closed End Funds

These are closed end funds [with a few exceptions] that pay dividends that are free of federal income taxes, and they all trade on either the New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange. The dividends are tax free because the closed end funds on this list own municipal bonds in their portfolio.

Remember, the dividends may fluctuate, the share price will fluctuate, and the CEFs are not guaranteed by any governmental entity. Also, the dividends from some of these may be only partially tax free; contact the company to verify the tax status of dividends before investing, and contact your tax preparer regarding any tax issues.

For an updated list of stocks that pay tax free dividends, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.
