Amid the flurry of promotions for Trump accounts<\/a>, families now have another way to opt in to the investing accounts for kids and claim seed money of up to $1,000<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n Parents or guardians can now start the process to open a Trump Account by filing IRS Form 4547 electronically via TrumpAccounts.gov<\/a>. They can also send the form<\/a> with their 2025 tax returns<\/a>. <\/p>\n “BREAKING NEWS: You can now claim your child’s @TrumpAccount with your tax filing OR directly on the official government website,” Invest America, a nonprofit advocacy group, said in an X post<\/a> late Sunday night. <\/p>\n The announcement came roughly five hours after Invest America ran a 30-second Trump account Super Bowl commercial<\/a>, which aired shortly after the game’s national anthem. Previously, the government said this sign-up option would not be available until “mid-2026.”<\/p>\n Read more CNBC personal finance coverageStudent loan complaints at record high, CFPB finds, but agency omits details<\/a>Following Super Bowl ad, Trump accounts launch a new sign-up option<\/a>Some student loan borrowers wait over a year for public servant debt forgiveness<\/a>Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ may spur the rise of ‘un-college,’ experts say<\/a>First the quarter zip, now a ‘401(k) mullet’ \u2014 what trends say about the economy<\/a>How Trump’s child tax credit changes could impact your refund this season<\/a>Some older Americans are ‘unretiring’ to keep up with cost of living: AARP survey<\/a>Bitcoin sells off amid ‘crypto winter.’ What investors need to know<\/a>It’s Medicare Advantage open enrollment: What to know about switching plans<\/a>Super Bowl ad featuring Trump accounts to air on Sunday \u2014 here’s a first look<\/a>Workers with student loan debt have less saved for retirement, Fidelity finds<\/a>Millions may drop ACA coverage \u2014 and raise health insurance costs for everyone else<\/a>Retirement savings ‘lost and found’ helps retirees track down old 401(k)s<\/a>Bigger SALT cap may ‘drive higher refunds,’ tax expert says \u2014 who benefits<\/a>What new Medicaid, SNAP work requirements mean for older workers<\/a>Trump accounts could grow to $50,000 or more, president says.

Later, families will be contacted by a “partner financial firm” with further details to complete the account setup, according to the website. The authentication process is expected to begin in May, according to\u00a0Treasury guidance<\/a>\u00a0from December. <\/p>\n Trump accounts<\/a>, also known as 530A accounts, were created by President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s “big beautiful bill<\/a>” to promote early wealth building for children.\u00a0<\/p>\n Any parent or guardian can set up an account for a child under 18, but only children born between 2025 and 2028 are eligible for the one-time $1,000 contribution from the Department of the Treasury. <\/p>\n Once an account is established, the federal government’s seed funding is expected to arrive in July. Families can then make additional deposits into the account of up to $5,000 per year.<\/p>\n A growing number of companies have pledged to match<\/a> the Treasury’s initial deposit for the children of employees. Other kids may qualify for philanthropist gifts to Trump accounts<\/a>, depending on income and where they live.\u00a0It’s unclear how soon those funds will be available. <\/p>\n
