I received 1099-DIV on my grand kids Cust UTMA-LA accounts. The amount of dividends and Capital Gains is just a little over $100. Do they have to file taxes?

If the 1099-DIV is listed with your SSN, then you would report this income on your return.

If the 1099-DIV is listed with the SSN(s) of your grandchildren, then they would need to file taxes if the total of their investment income is more than $1050. See link below for when a child may have to file their own taxes.
