Trump accounts open with $19,000 after-tax limit

Children born from 2025 through 2028 receive a $1,000 automatic deposit.

Trump accounts opened for contributions on July 4, 2026, with a $1,000 automatic deposit for children born 2025 through 2028.

The account carries a $19,000 individual after-tax limit.

For advisors, the automatic deposit removes an administrative step in opening and funding an account for a young child, while the $19,000 limit sets a clear annual gifting ceiling.
