The money may be put into IRS-approved plans in savings acounts, mutual funds, federal retirement bonds, certain insurance policies, and trust accounts invested in stocks and bonds. Yield on some plans is rather impressive�� up to an effective yield of 8.17% recently at savings banks and Savings and Loans. Check carefully the plans offered by insurance companies�� to determine amount of front-end charge and annual fee. Here is an introduction to these tax-saving programs.
