Stop and play this role-play game.  You answer phones for IRS.  Someone calls and tells you, "my grandchild has so much investment income he has to pay tax on some of it at his parents' 35% rate.  The investment is one I bought and I'm only in a 10% bracket.  Can we get around the kiddie tax?  I really don't want him to know about the money, and his parents don't really want to tell anyone their tax bracket."

What would be your answer?
