You can now activate a Trump Account for one or more of your children.

For more details about what this account is and how it works, check out the Trump Account overview.

To qualify to activate a Trump Account, the child must be:

• Under the age of 18 with a valid Social Security number (SSN)
• Does not already have Trump Account established yet
• To qualify to receive the $1,000 pilot program contribution in the account, the child must be a U.S. citizen who is born on or after January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2028.

• The person who is opening the account for a qualifying child, typically a parent, legal guardian, or other authorized individual, who can manage investment decisions until the child reaches the age of legal adulthood.
• For pilot program contributions, the responsible party must anticipate the child will be their qualifying child under IRS Section 152(c) for the year of election.

Before you can complete the following steps to activate a new Trump Account, you must have already completed the IRS Form 4547 for your eligible child or children as the parent, legal guardian, or other authorized individual. Note that the following account information must match what was entered in Form 4547 for both the parent (or other authorized individual) and the child (children).

1. Depending on what device you’re using, search for and download the Trump Accounts app in either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store or visit trumpaccount.com
2. When prompted, enter the following details about yourself as the parent or legal guardian:

• Email address
• Account password
• Legal name
• Mobile phone number
• SSN or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN)

3. When prompted, enter the following details about each eligible child, which will then automatically add their name:

• Date of birth
• SSN

4. Follow the on-screen prompts and agree to the account terms and conditions to start the account activation process

You’ll get an email from no-reply@trumpaccounts.treasury.gov to finish the account activation process. After your account is activated, you’ll get in-app notifications and emails from trumpaccount.com about account activity and other actions or information needed, such as to claim gifts or contributions.

Note that you will be able to begin activating accounts in May 2026, and then you’ll be able to start making contributions on or after July 4, 2026. Also, the $1,000 pilot program contribution is currently planned to be deposited on or after July 4, 2026.

If you’ve completed the Form 4547 for other eligible children, the app will prompt you to enter details for each additional child.

After you’ve opened a Trump Account for the 1st child, you can then add more children by selecting Add child at the top of the account dashboard in the Trump Accounts app, and follow the on-screen steps to add them. You’ll be able to view and manage all your children’s Trump Accounts from one location in the app, using the same login credentials.
