老余是对的。
If you set up an account in your child's name with you as custodian (UGMA/
UTMA account - and very different from a JOINT account), you are making an
irrevocable gift to your child. Once the money has been given to the child,
it is owned by the child - which is why YOU do not have to pay tax on the
earnings. The child owns the money, but you, as custodian control the money
until the child reaches 18 or 21. The age of trust termination depends on
the account type and the state you are in. The child then takes full control
of the money at trust termination and you can no longer place restrictions
on use of the money.
If you take back ownership of the money at a later date, the IRS will view
this as if a "gift" had never taken place and you will (if caught) owe back
taxes at your rate plus penalties. In extreme cases, your child could sue
you for breach of fiduciary responsibility.
As custodian, you are allowed to spend the money for the benefit of the
child as long as it does not fall under the category of "parental obligation
" which is food, clothing, housing, etc. The money could be used to buy the
child a computer, to pay for private school, college.
