If tax exempt bonds are purchased at a bond premium (i.e., at a price in excess of the face amount of the bond), whether at original issue or in the secondary market, the tax exempt bond premium is amortized over the remaining term of the tax exempt bond using the same constant yield to maturity method discussed above under "Original Issue Discount, OID." The amount of bond premium for tax exempt bonds amortized each year is not deductible by the tax exempt bond holder but instead reduces the tax exempt bonds holder's tax basis.
