Republicans Forge Their Tax Bill in Trump's Image, with 'MAGA Accounts' and More

  • House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson and supported by President Trump, are advancing a sweeping $4 trillion tax bill including new MAGA accounts for children born 2025–2029.
  • This bill emerged amid internal GOP divisions and Democratic opposition, with Trump urging unity by demanding lawmakers stop grandstanding and pass "one powerful bill" covering all priorities.
  • MAGA accounts provide $1,000 initial government deposits, with parents able to add $5,000 annually into low-cost stock index funds accessible at age 18 for education or business uses; non-qualified withdrawals before age 30 incur a 10% tax.
  • House Majority Leader Steve Scalise noted that Trump has taken a more active role this time in advancing the bill, and Rep. Jason Smith expressed that Trump is pleased with the progress they are making.
  • If passed, the legislation would make permanent Trump-era tax cuts but reduce funding for social programs, suggesting significant policy shifts amid continued Republican unity and Democratic opposition.
