What are Trump Accounts?\u00a0<\/h2>

The backstory:<\/p>

A provision of Trump\u2019s tax legislation, Trump Accounts are meant to give $1,000 to every baby born between 2025 and 2028, so long as their parents open an account. That money is then invested in the stock market by private firms, and the child can access the money when they turn 18. They can only use it for specific purposes, like paying tuition, starting a business or making a down payment on a home.<\/p>

After a parent opens an account, the U.S. Treasury will contribute $1,000 for newborns. Private banks and brokerages will manage the money, which must be invested in U.S. equity index funds that track the stock market and charge the accounts no more than 0.10% in annual fees.<\/p>

The parents of older children can also open accounts, but they won’t get the $1,000 bonus.<\/p>

Parents can contribute up to $2,500 annually in pretax income, much like they do for retirement accounts. Parents\u2019 employers, relatives, friends, local governments and philanthropic groups can also pitch in. Yearly contributions are capped at $5,000, but contributions from governments and charities don\u2019t count toward that total.\u00a0<\/p>

Thanks to a historic donation by the Dell family, some children 10 and under may receive an additional $250 in seed money if their parents open an account.\u00a0<\/p>

That money is reserved for kids who live in ZIP codes with a median family income of $150,000 or less and who won\u2019t get the $1,000 seed money from the Treasury.<\/p>

How to sign up for a Trump account<\/h2>

What you can do:<\/p>

Parents and guardians who haven\u2019t opened a Trump Account yet can open one for their child anytime before they turn 18. Only babies born between 2025 and 2028 are eligible for the $1,000. To open one, you have to submit an IRS Form 4547, include Trump Account elections and enroll in the pilot program. There\u2019s no cost to open an account.\u00a0<\/p>
