The bar catches the child, not the parent. The Beanstalk JISA conditions require the child not to be a US Person, but set no such test on the registered contact, whose only general requirement is being 18 or over; a US citizen parent is not the problem here, but a US citizen child cannot hold this account.

Confirm your own position with a cross-border specialist. Acceptance policies and tax rules change, and your facts may differ from the general case.

Tax

Saving for a child

How the US taxes a Junior ISA, a junior pension and a Child Trust Fund held by a US citizen child in the UK, and how a 529 plan compares.

 Tax

PFIC

Almost every UK-domiciled fund is a PFIC, taxed by the US at punitive rates with heavy filing. This is why US citizens hold individual shares, not UK funds.

 Tax

SIPP US tax

The US Treasury reads the treaty as leaving UK SIPP growth untaxed until drawn; the treaty's wording is narrower. Contributions, growth and drawdown explained.

 Tax

US-UK tax treaty

The US-UK treaty stops most double taxation, but the saving clause lets the US tax its citizens almost as if it were not there. What survives the clause.
