A new federal account offers eligible kids $1,000. Heres how it compares to a 529 savings plan By Kyle James of ConsumerAffairs October 22, 2026
Free money for eligible newborns: Children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, can qualify for a one-time $1,000 federal contribution to a Trump Account.

Different tax benefits: Trump Accounts offer tax-deferred investment growth, while 529 plans generally allow tax-free withdrawals for qualified education expenses.

You don't have to choose just one: Families can maintain both accounts, using them for different financial goals.

Want to give your child or grandchild a financial boost or start the process of saving for college? A new savings option could help you do just that.

Trump Accounts, created under the 2025 federal tax law, are now available to eligible children under 18. And for millions of young Americans, the federal government is offering a flat $1,000 to help start investing.

But here's where things get interesting. For years, 529 college savings plans have been a popular way for families to put money aside for education. Now parents have another tax-advantaged account to consider.

So should you put money into a Trump Account, stick with a 529 plan, or use both? The answer depends largely on what you want the money to accomplish.
What exactly is a Trump Account?
A Trump Account is a special type of traditional individual retirement account (IRA) established for children. Parents or other authorized adults can open one for an eligible child under 18 who has a Social Security number.

The biggest attention-getter is the government's $1,000 contribution. But not every child qualifies for that money.

According to the IRS, the one-time deposit is available to eligible U.S. citizens born from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2028.

Older children can still qualify for an account, but they don't qualify for that federal $1,000 contribution.

Pro tip: If you have a child born between 2025 and 2028, don't assume the $1,000 automatically arrives. Visit the official Trump Accounts website or use IRS Form 4547 to establish the account and request the federal contribution.
How does a 529 college savings plan compare?
A 529 plan is specifically designed to help families save for education costs. Parents, grandparents, and others can contribute money, choose investments from the plan's available options, and allow the account to grow over time.

The major attraction is the tax advantages.
