Paper tax return

[WA7GWX70]

How does an 8 year old sign a paper tax return?

This is a first time filing for a UTMA account with taxable interest and capital gains.

As custodian I prepared the return for him in his name and SSN.

Thank you

If you're filing a return for a minor child who cannot sign the return, sign the child's name followed by the word "by," then your signature, and your relationship, such as "parent" or "guardian for minor child."

Thank you.

I am the custodian for a UTMA acct for my grandson.

He had taxable unearned income for 2024.
