给孩子付大学学费问题

经常看见家长给孩子付大学学费,有个问题,是不是付学费就不算在每年1万5的gift限额里面了。好像也有家长给买车的。是不是只要钱不存在小孩银行/股票账号,那就不算在gift限额里面了?

直接付给学校的学费和直接付给医院的医疗费不算在年度礼品限额内。

所以不能让529账户直接给孩子寄支票,一定要让529账户直接付钱给学校或者把支票给自己自己再付学费?

College Expense from student of Parents

如果要孩子独立报税,是不是要保证more than 50% of college expense come out child's account? in that case money out of 529 counted as parent or child?

No. dependent child can file their own separate tax return.
