How It Works
A quick guide to Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors.
- You can invest up to $14,000 per year tax free in a UTMA/UGMA account. (Or $28,000 per year for married taxpayers, filing jointly). There are no annual contribution limits.
- If the child is under age 19, the first $1,000 of investment income is free from federal income tax, and the second $1,000 is taxed at the child's rate. Income over $2,000 is taxed at the parents' (or custodian’s) marginal tax rate.
- Gifts are irrevocable. The child receives legal control of the assets at age 18 or 21, depending on the state.
- UGMA/UTMA accounts are considered assets of the child. This means they have a higher impact on financial aid eligibility than 529 plans or Coverdell accounts.
