Probably had about 15-20k in there, but it was his money, right?

Hope your wife didn't inherit some of FIL's brilliance.

Legally? I guess, assuming the account was in his name. Morally? He sounds kind of shitty if he had told his daughter that he was giving the money to her.

Not really. He opened the account for his daughter. Only stingy arse dickheads think the money in their kids' accounts belongs to themselves and not their kids.

So you assume there was $2000 in there but you don't really know. Maybe he had already taken most of it out. Be grateful he sent your wife a $200 gift.

Sounds like the daughter and OP paid the taxes.

So he texts it to my wife so we can report it and avoid an IRS letter. No big deal, it’s like $30 of interest so we will pay $6 of taxes -

You should have no interest in this.

That $200 can buy you a couple of new video games for the xBox system that your wife's boyfriend bought you on your birthday. Just accept the $200 and go hit up Best Buy.

LOL. His wife's finances are none of his business? I don't think he should make a big deal about it but I definitely would want my wife to know the truth of the matter. Too many people get screwed over by family and not even realize it.

If I am going to give my father money I at least want to know I gave it to him and if I didn't know I would be happy my wife explained it to me.

I look up the bank and the interest rate for their savings account, and calculate that the account had to have around a $2,000 balance.


If she got a 1099 then she can call the bank and get the bank statements. No need to guess on what was in there.

Maybe he's just giving you the interest that was earned which is what you're paying taxes on but keeping his initial contribution to your wife's college fund that went unused....seems like a pretty fair way to handle it.

Well, FIL may need the money to get weekly blow jobs from women in a network of sluts at a local trailer park because his wife never sucks his root. Don’t ask me how I know that may be a possible scenario.

Ok, I'll go. Mine made my wife pay for her college tuition, then claimed the tax credit on his taxes....

If it's in her name, how does he have any authority on closing the account and or claiming it's his money
