Question

What is a Trump Account and how does it work for new parents?

Answer

A Trump Account is a new type of traditional IRA created under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for eligible individuals under age 18 with a Social Security number. It allows annual contributions of up to $5,000 during a designated growth period, with funds required to be invested in U.S. stocks. Children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, are eligible for a one-time $1,000 government contribution. After the growth period, the account can transition to a standard traditional IRA, convert to a Roth IRA, or roll over to another eligible retirement account.
