Sunya established a qualified tuition program for each of his twins, Kim and Jim. He started each fund with $22,000 when the children were five years old. Sunya made no further contributions to his children’s plans. Thirteen years later, both children have graduated from high school. Kim’s fund has accumulated to $45,000, and Jim’s has accumulated to $42,000. Kim decides to attend a state university, which will cost $60,000 for four years (tuition, fees, room and board, and books). Jim decides to go to work instead of going to college. During the current year, $7,500 is used from Kim’s plan to pay the cost of her first semester in college. Because Jim is not going to college now or in the future, Sunya withdraws the $42,000 plan balance and gives it to Jim to start his new life after high school.
What are the tax consequences to Jim (is any amount taxable and why) of Jim’s qualified tuition program being closed?

He is an inexperienced investor and wants to know if this 5,000 is deductible.

The bonds had 20 years left to maturity when he purchased them. Draft a brief letter to Paul explaining how to handle these items. Also prepare a memo for Pauls tax file.arrow_forward
