We have Custodial accounts with EDJones for each of the grandchildren.  I am listed as the Custodian and (Grandchild) under the age of 21.  The statements and Dividend reports are sent to me.  Am I responsible for paying taxes on the dividends earned in those accounts?

Thank you,

No.   If the child is required to file a tax return they go on the child's own tax return.

 

(Custodial accounts normal end when the child becomes an adult at age 18.)
