If your child or grandchild worked this year and had wages or other earned income, funding a Roth is a great gift. You can give $5,000 or what the child earned, whichever is less. But keep in mind that the gift does count toward the $12,000 annual gift tax exclusion. This does not create a tax deduction but a Roth can grow into a nice nest egg, especially if you keep making pay-ins each year.
