Treasury to Hold Summit on Trump Accounts

The summit promotes Trump Accounts with a $1,000 pilot deposit for eligible children and philanthropic support totaling $6.25 billion, aiming to expand financial opportunity for families.

  • On January 28, President Donald Trump will deliver the keynote at a day-long Washington summit promoting Trump Accounts and encouraging parents to sign up.
  • The One Big Beautiful Bill created Trump Accounts, and parents can elect them by submitting IRS Form 4547 with 2025 tax returns as the 2026 filing season opens Monday.
  • Parents can contribute up to $5,000 annually and employers $2,500, with IRS Form 4547 including two elections and the Treasury authentication process beginning in May.
  • The summit emphasizes a Main Street, family-focused agenda, but critics warn opt-in via tax form may exclude lower-income families and skew benefits toward wealthier Americans; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously called the accounts "a backdoor for privatizing Social Security."
  • Corporate matches and philanthropy could expand support beyond the Treasury $1,000 pilot contribution, with employer matches up to $1,000 and gifts from Michael Dell and Susan Dell plus Ray Dalio and Barbara Dalio.
