Question

When selecting a savings account, you should look at the following factors except _____.

annual percentage yield (APY)
fees
minimum balance
interest thresholds
taxes paid on the interest
variable interest rates

Answer 1

All of these factors are important to consider EXCEPT "taxes paid on interest" because the banking institution has no control over the tax rate and how much you would be responsible for paying at the end of the year. Tax rates are set by federal and state governments and would be the same rate no matter which savings account you chose.
