Trump Accounts — a new federal investment instrument for children — will pay 4 million dollars in 2026 per year. According to the terms of the agreement, the Department of the Treasury of the U.S. will make payments for children over the next 18 years, totaling $1.4 million in federal interest in total.

The material states that the payments for children, according to the agreement, will be $1,000 per year starting in 2025. However, the amount may be increased for the children up to $5,000 per year.

For opening the account, form 4547 is required, which states that $1,000 must be paid for the initial deposit.
