Are high yield bank accounts worth it despite taxes?

I was thinking about how some of these high yield checking/savings accounts (like 1.85%-2%) can be worth it if you have to pay tax on the interest earned anyway. Are these accounts good, or are they just a trap? I am in the 12% tax bracket for this year. Lets toss the low $20,000's as a balance for example, are these really right for me if I simply want to earn more without using a CD or investing on this occasion?

Like what I'm asking I guess also is that will I actually earn good dividends to keep or just give it all back at tax time.

If you are in the USA, it would probably be better to put your money in a mutual fund that focuses on dividends, unless you absolutely cannot have the balance fluctuate up and down. The money you get from most mutual funds is either dividend or capital gain, which is not taxed much, if at all, depending on your income.

even if there is such a thing, it's not worth putting one dollar in.........most savings accounts earn less than one % per year
