Children born from 2025–2028 and who are U.S. citizens are eligible for the one-time $1,000 deposit from the U.S Treasury once their Trump account is created.

 

This doesn’t count toward annual contribution limits. Some children, even those born outside 2025–2028, may qualify for other automatic contributions through private donations.

 

You will also be able to open an account at trumpaccounts.gov starting in the summer of 2026. 

 

A Form 4547 is used to initiate the "Trump Account", with contributions that will start in July 2026.  The Trump Account is for children under 18 with a valid SSN. The contribution is a $1,000 contribution for children born between Jan 1, 2025, and Dec 31, 2028.
