Every big journey starts with a small first step...
As parents, one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is a strong financial foundation. Here are 5 things every parent should know about the new hashtag :
💎 1. Birth Date Matters:
Children must be born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, to qualify for the $1,000 federal seed contribution.
💎 2. Understand the Withdrawal Rules:
Funds generally cannot be accessed before age 18. Between ages 18 and 25, withdrawals are limited to certain qualified purposes. Beginning at age 30, remaining funds may generally be used for any purpose, although taxes and other rules may apply depending on the type of withdrawal.
💎 3. You Can Continue Adding to the Account:
Parents, grandparents, family members, and friends can contribute up to a combined $5,000 per year (adjusted for inflation beginning in 2028). Employer contributions are limited to $2,500 per employee per year and count toward that $5,000 annual limit.
💎 4. Designed for Long-Term Growth:
Before age 18, investments are limited to diversified U.S. stock index mutual funds or ETFs, encouraging long-term investing rather than speculation.
💎 5. Every Family Should Understand How It Fits Their Plan:
Trump Accounts may be a valuable addition to your financial plan, but it's important to understand how they compare with options like 529 plans, Roth IRAs (when eligible), and other long-term savings strategies before deciding where to save.
Every family's goals are different. If you'd like to discuss whether a Trump Account fits into your family's overall financial plan, we're happy to help.
