How do I tax this event?

when you say "transfering" i assume you are gifting them.

if gifting, there are no income tax consequences to gifts, however, if the value of these gifts exceeds $11k (i believe that's the limit for 2005, it was for 2004 i think) you should file a gift tax return.

there will be income tax issues with the income on the assets though, but i'm sure you knew that......
