Contributions to UTMA accounts are made with after-tax dollars. Therefore, you can withdraw contributions tax-free, but with some caveats. As you may know, anyone (parents, friends, relatives) can put money into a child's UTMA account as a gift.
On a UTMA account, you can withdraw and can be made at any time for any reason without penalties. However, the income on the account is taxable to the child and may be taxed at the parent's tax rate if the child's unearned income exceeds $1,200 for the year.
The first $1,100 in earnings in the UTMA account are tax-free. This earnings figure includes dividends, interest income, and any capital gains. The next $1,100 in earnings is taxable at the child's tax rate. Because your child probably doesn't earn much income, their tax rate is typically 10%.
Because money placed in an UGMA/UTMA account is owned by the child, earnings are generally taxed at the child's?usually lower?tax rate, rather than the parent's rate. For some families, this savings can be significant. Up to $1,050 in earnings tax-free. The next $1,050 is taxable at the child's tax rate.
Transfers made to a UGMA or UTMA account are irrevocable and belong to the child in whose name the account is registered; however, the account is controlled by the custodian until the child reaches a certain age, which varies by state (usually 18 or 21).
