I wasn't sure to post this here, or Parenting section but...
Any advice on US and UK savings accounts for dual citizen babies?
I am wary of starting savings accounts in the US and UK for our babies, as I don't want to saddle them (or me) with future tax burdens.
My parents in the US are asking us for the babies' SSNs (which we just got), so they can start some kind of savings account for them. (I had no idea that grandparents had the legal right to do that, but apparently they do).
And relatives in the UK have given us money, and encouraged us to start UK savings accounts for them.
UK: What accounts have you parents started for kids?
All I know is that ISA accounts in the UK, even cash ISAs, are taxed in the US. So guessing I should not open an ISA account for them? As this will create a future tax burden when they have to start filing taxes for the US.
US: What accounts have you or grandparents started for kids?
Are there any tax or legal issues I should know about?
Also is it a problem that if my parents start a US account for the babies, their names will be associated with an address in the US? Especially an address in a state different from my (absentee ballot voting address)?
Thanks!
