****OT*****
>>>>>
I am not an accountant, but I have come across this problem.
The answer is no, till the age of 14 (your sons) you have to include his gains in your
taxes.
<<<<<

I don't think this is accurate.

The way I understand it is as follows:

The first $750 (the amounts might be slightly different) in gains are tax exempt.

The second $750 are taxed at your son's rate (15% if my memory serves me well)

Gains over $1500 are taxed at the parent's rate. (Your rate)

Hope this helps.

OT* - Thanks Satish, Raybert, Red Dog, and Monty. Boy, when you need an answer on the MDA thread- Folks are really willing to help you out. Maybe this nation has some hope after all. -g-

Monty went the extra yard and put the data in his tax software. We found out that MCD would only have to drop a little more than 8% for the sale to work out.

Now, let's rally for a few days here and get my boy a better price for that sale. -vbg-

Thanks again All,
TW
