Trump Accounts Start Accepting Contributions July 4 -- and the Math Gets Big Fast
"Trump Accounts were created under the Working Families Tax Cuts legislation signed into law on July 4, 2025. These accounts function as tax-advantaged investment accounts for minors under age 18, allowing for significant growth through compounding over time."
"Eligible children born between Jan. 1, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2028 can receive a one-time $1,000 federal seed contribution. The IRS reported that more than 4 million children have already been signed up for Trump Accounts."
"Funds must generally be invested in broad U.S. stock-market index funds, such as those tracking the S&P 500. A $1,000 federal boost today could grow into a $20 million legacy tomorrow, illustrating the power of compounding."
