提上来问,有没有给孩子建ROTH IRA的?有什么tax implication。 我两娃,每年连exemption都拿不全,直接AMT, 还别说什么itemized deduction了。所以考虑建ROTH IRA。有经验的说一说?

大孩10岁。

 Several questions for

kid’s Roth IRA

   a)      Tax implication for parent? Kids report Tax independently?

   b)      Health insurance implication? Can I still claim kid as dependent in health insurance?

   c)       What kind of kid’s income can be called income? Have to be W-2, 1099 form?  Can I setup a brokerage account for kids (as a gift) and use the earned money as income, then contribute Roth IRA for kid?
