Trump Tax Accounts

Posted on 07/11/2025 ← Back to TaxBert's Tax Talk
How do Trump accounts work?

Trump accounts are a new type of individual retirement account (IRA) that will be effective for tax years beginning after 2025[1].

Key features include:

  • Can be established for beneficiaries under age 18 [2]
  • Annual contribution limit of $5,000 (non-deductible)
  • Earnings grow tax-deferred
  • No distributions allowed before age 18
  • Limited investment options available

Additional benefits[3]:

  • Employers can make excludable contributions up to $2,500 for employees under 18
  • A pilot program allows the IRS to contribute $1,000 for eligible children born between December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2029
  • Trump accounts are treated separately from other IRAs for contribution limit purposes
