What is the difference between a 529 plan and a Trump Account?

A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged account specifically designed for education savings, with tax-free withdrawals for qualified expenses ranging from K-12 through college and vocational programs. A Trump Account is structured as a traditional IRA for minors and is designed to build long-term retirement wealth — not education savings. Both accounts can complement each other as part of a broader savings strategy. The right allocation between them depends on your goals, timeline, and overall financial plan.
