Children's Income/Kiddie
Tax
KIDDIE TAX - OVERVIEW
The tax incentives to shift income from a parent to a minor
child were
virtually eliminated by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, Pub. L. 99-514. At
that time, the Code was amended to provide that, with respect to a child
under age 14, the unearned income of such child over a specified minimum
amount is taxed at his parent's highest marginal rate if this results in a
higher tax than at the child's rate (referred to as the "kiddie tax"). In
addition, a child who is claimed as a dependent on his parents' return
cannot claim a personal exemption on his return and is permitted only a
limited standard deduction. Moreover, a child who is subject to the kiddie
tax may also be subject to special rules for applying the alternative
minimum tax (AMT).
