If a parent gives stock to a child and a dividend is paid, who reports the dividend?

Q. On December 10, 100 shares of X Corp were gifted from parent to child. On December 5, X Corp declared a dividend of $1 per share. The dividend was payable December 30 to shareholders of record as of December 20. The 1099-DIV received by the child reported $100 of qualified dividends. If the child was the parents dependent would the parents or the child report the qualified dividends on their taxes.

A. Since the person on record as of the date the dividend was declared was the parent, the parent will receive the 1099DIV and the money. Unless the stock is officially transferred to the child (put in the child's name) then the parent will continue to get the dividends.


What would be the perfect gift for my parents for my college graduation?
Q. I am graduating in August and am looking for ideas for a gift to my parents (and possibly twin sister) as a "thank you" for the opportunities they have given me. I had originally bought each of them business suits, but that felt completely wrong and I have already given those as gifts for other occasions. I am completely at a loss as to what to give (or do for) them. Please help!

A. You don't say what your budget is, but something that your parents would really enjoy is time with you and your twin. How about a weekend getaway doing something you all enjoy.
