Ivan Trent, age five, receive $2,900 of dividends per year from a mutual fund he owns; it is his only source of taxable income. Ivan's parents plan to gift a corporate bond they currently own to him. The bond pays $4,100 of interest income per year. Ivan's parents are in the 37% tax bracket. The individual income tax rate schedule that generally applies to a single taxpayer indicates a 10% tax rate until taxable income of $9,525. Ivan's family will save tax at the rate of 27% (37% - 10% tax rates) on the bond interest income if the parents transfer the bond to Ivan.
