Where to park $10k that's low risk?
When you say “park”, do you mean in the long term lot or the short term lot?
I’m being serious. It makes a BIG difference.

I just bought 10k in I-bonds. Took about 15 mins to set it up.

Only issue I have with this is creating more taxable income via the interest.

For me the only real risk is that I'm converting part of my emergency fund to I-bonds. So as long as I don't need that part of my e-fund in the next 12 months I should be good. It would take something truly catastrophic for that to happen but that's the risk.
Otherwise that 10k would be sitting in an ally account collecting 0.5% interest (and falling).
You also don't have to pay the taxes on the interest until you redeem.

So you don’t receive a coupon payment in the interim?

No different than high yield savings/checking account or CDs. Also, the interest is tax deferred till you redeem the bond and you can redeem smaller partial amounts.
