Most people do not realize that your children can have Roth IRAs as minors.
- A custodian (parent, grandparent, etc.) will be appointed until the children reach the age of majority (usually 18 or 21).
- 100% of earned income can be contributed to the Roth IRA up to $6,000 (2021).
For example, if your child makes $2,000, they can contribute $2,000.
- The Roth IRA offers a huge head start in your children becoming financially independent.
NOTE: You always have penalty-free access to the contributions (not the earnings).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A Roth IRA offers tax deferral on any earnings in the account. Qualified withdrawals of earnings from the account are tax-free. Withdrawals of earnings prior to age 59 ½ or prior to the account being opened for 5 years, whichever is later, may result in a 10% IRS penalty tax.
