FAQs
UTMA and UGMA accounts are custodial accounts for minors. Assets are irrevocable gifts to the child and are managed by a custodian until the child reaches the applicable age of termination under state law.
A minor may be eligible for a custodial Traditional or Roth IRA if they have qualifying earned income and meet IRS requirements. Contribution limits apply. Distributions may be subject to tax and penalties depending on the account type, the timing of withdrawals, and applicable IRS rules.
