Have three 1099 s for custodial accounts. How do I not pay tax on these? They are set up with the children's SS#'s. Do I ignore the 1099 s?

You may ignore these documents as long as the children do not have enough income to be required to file a tax return.

See the screen shot below to determine if the children must file:

The Grandchildren do not need to file a tax return. Therefore I will ignore them. No SSN appears on the 1099's although my wife is the Custodian Etrade has her SSN as well as the Grandchildren's SSN's. Anything else I need to ask you concerning this subject?
