Funding a New IRA. Your adult child can use the money you give her from your IRA withdrawal to fund her own IRA up to the limits prescribed by law, provided she has earned income for the year that is equal to the amount of your gift. You can't transfer, or roll over, assets from your IRA into an IRA for your child.ax Considerations. Although you can withdraw funds from your IRA at any time, for any reason, there might be tax consequences. If you have a traditional IRA, all withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income, and are subject to an additional 10-percent tax penalty if you are younger than 59 1/2 years.
