Amid the flurry of promotions for Trump accounts, families now have another way to opt in to the investing accounts for kids and claim seed money of up to $1,000.
Parents or guardians can now start the process to open a Trump Account by filing IRS Form 4547 electronically via TrumpAccounts.gov. They can also send the form with their 2025 tax returns.
“BREAKING NEWS: You can now claim your child’s @TrumpAccount with your tax filing OR directly on the official government website,” Invest America, a nonprofit advocacy group, said in an X post late Sunday night.
The announcement came roughly five hours after Invest America ran a 30-second Trump account Super Bowl commercial, which aired shortly after the game’s national anthem. Previously, the government said this sign-up option would not be available until “mid-2026.”
TrumpAccounts.gov will send Form 4547 directly to the IRS. Later, families will be contacted by a “partner financial firm” with further details to complete the account setup, according to the website. The authentication process is expected to begin in May, according to Treasury guidance from December.
