When a distribution is sent to the Custodian on a UGMA/UTMA account
who receives the 1099-Q?

• The Custodian

• No 1099-Q is generated

• The Beneficiary

• Both the Custodian and the Beneficiary

Answer explanation

"Custodian" is the correct term for the Account Owner/Participant of UGMA/UTMA accounts.
Because the bene's are ultimately the owners of these accounts, they
ALWAYS are the recipients of the 1099-Q: even if they aren't the Payee on the distribution.

If an Account Owner calls on a MOD UGMA/UTMA account and the account is Frozen because the beneficiary has reached Age of Majority, can a withdrawal be processed?

The Custodian of UGMA/UTMA account type for MND plan is calling about receiving a notice stating the account has a freeze due to the bene's age - They state they do not want to transfer funds to the beneficiary, that they believe the account was restricted prematurely. Is there an option?

• No, they must transfer the funds to the new beneficiary.

• Yes, they can do a one-time w/d to the school, then they need to transfer ownership to the beneficiary.

• Yes, they can make a full withdrawal payable to the beneficiary

• Yes, the Custodian can send a New Age Letter

Answer explanation

We should never pro-actively offer the New Age Letter on AOM (Age of Majority) account just because a Custodian is annoyed with the restriction - this should only be used when Custodian has a legal reason to believe the account should remain restricted.
