Understanding Trump Accounts

A New Tax-Advantaged Savings Option for Kids!


Trump Accounts are a newly created type of government-sponsored savings account designed to encourage long-term saving and financial stability. They may be used alongside existing accounts such as IRAs, employer retirement plans, or education savings accounts.

A simple, low‑cost way to start building a nest egg for your child.


This is a general overview only. For official guidance, eligibility rules, and updates, visit trumpaccounts.gov.


Key Potential Benefits

  • Tax-Advantaged Growth: Earnings inside a Trump Account may grow with favorable tax treatment, depending on how and when funds are used.

  • Flexible Long-Term Savings Tool: Funds are intended to support long-term financial goals, which may include retirement, education, or other qualifying uses.

  • Kickstart savings: Eligible newborns (born 2025–2028) can get a $1,000 starter deposit paid into their Trump account when you make a pilot election during setup.

  • Grow it every year: Add up to $5,000 per year before the year your child turns 18 and keep it focused on ultra‑low‑fee index funds—built to be simple and affordable for families.

  • Designed for kids: It’s a kids‑first savings account (modeled on familiar IRA rules) with a general rule that money stays put until the year your child turns 18—so it’s easy to set it and watch it grow.

  • More ways to fund: Employers can offer up to $2,500 per year, excluded from the employee’s income under a qualifying program, and approved public/charitable funders can deliver tax‑free “general funding contributions” to groups of kids.
