Trump Accounts jumpstart the American Dream.
US Government ^ | Trump

Posted on 02/25/2026 5:34:58 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

We're building long-term financial security for millions of children by creating tax-advantaged investment accounts for U.S. citizens under the age of 18. Fill out your Form 4547 below to make your election for the 2026 tax year.

Who is eligible?

All U.S. children under 18 with a valid Social Security Number are eligible to establish a Trump Account. Parents or legal guardians can open and manage accounts on behalf of their children.

When can funds be used?

Funds can be accessed without penalty when the child turns 18 for qualified expenses like education, a first home purchase, or starting a business. Withdrawals may be subject to restrictions and would be taxed at ordinary income rates.

How do I open an account?

You can elect to open Trump Accounts for your eligible children using the newly-created IRS Form 4547. You can do this when you file your taxes or through an online portal that will be available by summer 2026. Continue to check TrumpAccounts.gov for the latest information.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Hadn't heard about this until the SOTU speech. Plan to sign my 12 year old up this summer.

Check out the website for more information and access to IRS Form 4547 (cute form #).

“We’re building long-term financial security for millions of children”

That’s another thing that seems to have been left out of my copy of the Constitution.

The whole Ponzi-Scheme thing is left out - it would look criminal.

Trump accounts = Couples making a whole lot of America 250 whoopie. Keep it clean. I don’t want to pay for fraudulent births. For far too long, we’ve been paying for the Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and unemployment benefits for people who have already died. That’s all we need is to have to shell out for babies who were never even conceived.

Like all Federal programs, when the democrats get back in power someday, this will be morphed into an unrecognizable monstrosity—used for wealth redistribution.

There are many things that the constitution doesn’t “allow” but importantly doesn’t prohibit, either. Much of our freedom relies on things it doesn’t prohibit. Tax free unrealized increases in equity are an important example.

Michael Dell donated like 6,5 billions for that purpose!
Yes, he is rich, but that is quite a lot even for him!
I just bought Dell laptop, I feel good about that now.

Why does not Soros or other “do gooder” leftie billionaires chip in few $ too?

Agreed, and again, like all Federal programs started with the absolute best intentions—this will be morphed not only into a wealth redistribution program,,,,,,BUT

Mark my words here, it will also be a huge first step towards guaranteed income plan which far left socialists are pushing now—often called UBI (Universal Basic Income) for everyone.

FROM the website link given...This is NOT for every child until the age of 18, as has been announced. Why is it being sold as such?

Get $1,000 for every American child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028.

The account is fully in your child’s name, and you are the sole custodian until they turn 18.

No contributions necessary—but you can deposit up to $5,000 per year to maximize growth.

“”All U.S. children under 18 with a valid Social Security Number are eligible to establish a Trump Account.””

Big difference between actual and what’s being told/sold to the public...

And when they get to that point, they’re not gonna be happy with so many mouths to feed—if you get my drift.

Yep, the money amount of the program will be increased every year, and the scope of the scheme and extent of what is allowed, will be also. When the democrats get in power, it will be expanded on steroids.
