I am a 21 year old college student (dependent).
My parents invested my college savings in stocks. They have about 30,000 dollars left in shares of Apple (I am a senior at a public university)
They are in the 33% tax bracket.
Edit: I am in California Edit: I do not have a job (doing unpaid internship overseas)
Questions: What happens if they transfer the 28,000 dollars worth of stock into a brokerage account under my own name.
Effectively gifting the shares to me. They have a joint account so I should be safe under 28,000 dollars from gift tax.
The stock gained 7000 dollars so was bought with 21,000 dollars.
If I get the stock, will I have to pay kiddie tax on the 7000 if I do not sell the stock?
Will it benefit me if I keep the stock until I graduate, and get a job to be taxed at my own lower rate?
Thanks in advance!
