Key takeaways
Trump Accounts are scheduled to launch on July 4, 2026, giving families a new tax-deferred way to save for children.
Eligible children born between 2025 and 2028 may receive an automatic $1,000 federal seed contribution.
A Trump Account must first be opened through the Treasury Department before it can be transferred to an approved IRA administrator.
Parents, grandparents, employers, government entities, nonprofits, and others may be able to contribute, subject to applicable limits and rules.
Funds generally can’t be accessed until the year the child turns 18, when the account essentially transitions into a traditional IRA.
