On May 28, 2026, the Department of the Treasury announced the launch of the Trump Accounts app on app stores available nationwide. Beginning July 4, 2026, Trump Accounts will start accepting contributions from parents, family members, employers, and other eligible contributors, subject to annual limits. That same date, the U.S. Department of the Treasury will begin depositing a $1,000 pilot program contribution directly into each eligible child’s Trump Account.
With that news comes the big question: 529 Plan OR Trump Account? The verdict is different depending on your goals. A 529 Plan and Trump Account each serve a different purpose. Here is an article I found with some great information comparing the features of the two:
