Disclosures

The Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) Account is established in a child’s name. The parent or legal guardian is the custodian of the account and, as custodian, must oversee and authorize all withdrawals on the account. When a minor reaches the age of majority (21 in Pennsylvania and New Jersey) the parent or legal guardian must turn over the funds or retitle the account in the name of the minor. Funds can be withdrawn at any time for the minor’s benefit. IRS allows a person to gift $15,000 per year to any other person with no tax consequences. Investment income that accrues to a dependent child under 19 years of age (or 24 if a full-time student) is taxed as follows: The first $1,050 is tax-free, the next $1,050 is taxed at the child’s tax rate, and the remainder may be taxed at the parent or custodian’s tax rate. After the child turns 19 (or 24 if a full-time student), the investment income is taxed on the child’s tax return at the child’s rate. Check with your tax advisor for full details.
Premium Yield Account owners are entitled to two FREE withdrawals per calendar month, including the transfer of funds between PFFCU Accounts. Accounts will be charged $10 for each additional withdrawal/transfer per month.
Qualified education expenses include, but are not limited to tuition, fees, academic tutoring, books, supplies, room, board, uniforms and transportation. Funds may also be used for elementary and secondary education expenses including tuition at private, parochial, and trade schools. No contributions are allowed after the account beneficiary reaches age 18, with the exception of special-needs beneficiaries. The only person who may withdraw funds from the account is the “responsible individual” named on the account. The beneficiary on the ESA may be changed at any time. Contributions are non-deductible, earnings are tax-deferred, and distributions are tax-free if used to pay for the account beneficiary’s qualified education expenses. Monies not used for qualified education expenses will be subject to taxes and a 10% penalty. Contributions can be made until April 15 of the following tax year. Maximum annual contribution limit is $2,000 per student. Contribution eligibility and limitations are based on contributors’ modified adjusted gross income. Check with your tax advisor for full details.
Club accounts do not pay dividends.
An original copy of the letters testamentary, letters of administration, or short certificate is required to open, along with an original death certificate and an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the estate. If you do not yet have an EIN, one can be obtained from IRS.gov. We cannot open estate accounts with joint executors; if it states “or” or other language that allows one executor to act independently, the account may be opened, but if the executors must act together, we cannot open the account.
The Premium Yield Account (PYA) requires a $2,500 balance to earn dividends. Dividends do not accrue on days when the ending balance is below the required balance. Deposits of $2,500 or more earn 4.00% APY. PYA owners are entitled to two FREE withdrawals per month, including the transfer of funds between shares or to another PFFCU account. Accounts will be charged $10 per each additional withdrawal/transfer out. See the Account Agreements and Disclosures for additional transaction limitations.
