Savings Accounts

I have 3 kids under 10 yrs. old and want to open a savings account for each one. I will give them the funds when they turn 18. Will they have to pay taxes on whatever money they earn between now and then?

Since you are putting in your taxed money, you won't have to pay any taxes on it again. What I did was I started a savings account with the money people gave me for her since she was born and put in a certain amount every month ($200/month at the time being). Then when the savings account reaches $5000 I'll put it in a CD or whatever makes sense for the economy at the time. I also have her put 1/2 the money she gets for christmas, birthday's etc. into the account because I hope it will teach her about saving and investing, something my parents did for me, but never really taught me about - you know. I'm not an investor by any means, but it's just an idea :)
