out of the following information what part of this is the code
section?  i must be able to identify the code secton that makes a
municipal bond tax exempt and this is what i found:  SEC. 103.
INTEREST ON STATE AND LOCAL BONDS.  --History notes applicable to
entire section.


l 1986, Tax Reform Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-514)


P.L. 99-514, §1301(a):
Amended Code Sec. 103. Effective for bonds issued after 8-15-86. See,
however, the special rules provided in Act Secs. 1312-1317, below.
Prior to amendment, Code Sec. 103 read as follows:

SEC. 103. INTEREST ON CERTAIN GOVERNMENTAL OBLIGATIONS.

[Sec. 103(a)]

(a) GENERAL RULE. --Gross income does not include interest on --

(1) the obligations of a State, a Territory, or a possession of the
United States, or any political subdivision of any of the foregoing,
or of the District of Columbia; and

(2) qualified scholarship funding bonds.

Well done, Fizzled,

The answer is Internal Revenue Code Section 103(a)
or IRC 103(a)  or Sec. 103(a) or IRC §103(a) or §103(a) 
depending on how your instructor wants the citation. 
All are correct.

And just for the fun of it...more notes on Sec. 103
