Kiddie Tax Question

Hello,

 

Here's the situation:

1 - Kids UTMA account was through a bank brokerage which divested the brokerage function

2 - All funds were in the bank S&P 500 fund

3 - Bank transferred the accounts to another provider

4 - The other provider stunk. I moved the accounts to Schwab

5 - The movement to Schwab liquidated the accounts, sent a check, which Schwab then invested into the Schwab S&P 500 fund

 

The liquidation resulted in a lot of capital gains. Is there any way to deal with the tax bite, or just stuck?

    You should have just had the fund transferred to Schwab that would not be taxable.

     

    Unfortunately you seem to be stuck with the tax now.
