Question

Can I contribute to Trump Accounts for multiple children without triggering a gift tax return?

Answer

Yes. The safe harbor applies on a per-beneficiary basis, so contributing $5,000 to each of multiple children’s Trump Accounts won’t trigger a gift tax filing requirement as long as total gifts to each individual child don’t exceed the $19,000 annual exclusion.
