How to close an account

Trump Accounts generally remain open until the beneficiary reaches age 18. In limited circumstances, an account may be transferred or closed.

Account transfers. A Trump Account remains active and may be issued a new account number in the following circumstances:

  • Change in responsible party. To help protect your child’s account, a new account number will be issued when responsibility for the account changes. This helps ensure the previous responsible party can no longer access the account.
  • Transfer (rollover) to another authorized Trump Account trustee (when available).

Account closures. A Trump Account may be closed only in limited circumstances, such as:

  • Death of the beneficiary
  • Rollover to an ABLE account
  • After the beneficiary reaches age 18, the assets in the account are transferred to a traditional IRA, at which point the Trump Account is closed.

Unfunded Trump Accounts generally remain open so they can receive future contributions. If an account still has a $0 balance when the beneficiary reaches age 18, the account will be closed.
