QZAB's

Qualified Zone Academy Bonds. QZAB's were created by Congress in 1997 to provide low income school districts with access to low cost financing. QZAB bonds are taxable municipal securities that entitle investors to Federal tax credits rather than paying interest. The Federal government limits the amount of QZAB's that each state may issue. The rules for issuing as well as holding these bonds are relatively complex, limiting their appeal to many investors.
