Maximizing Contributions and Tax Benefits for UTMA Accounts
When it comes to saving for minors, there are benefits and disadvantages to using a UTMA account versus a parental brokerage account. With a UTMA account, you relinquish control over the money, as it becomes the child's property. However, you gain certain tax advantages, such as the money being taxed at the child's lower tax rate. UTMA accounts are subject to the kitty tax, but they can be a good option if you want to give your child a head start with investments and financial education. Opening multiple UTMA accounts for different children is possible, and each child can receive gifts up to the annual IRS gifting allowance. However, the tax treatment of UTMA accounts depends on various factors, so it's important to consult a financial advisor for personalized advice.
