In this emergency headline episode of Traction with the Tiger, host and Tax Tiger Chris Wittich explains a brand-new feature of the One Big Beautiful Bill: The “Trump Accounts.” Designed for children born between 2025 and 2028, these government-seeded investment accounts start with a $1,000 contribution and allow for up to $5,000 in additional contributions annually. Chris explores how they work, what makes them different (or not) from existing savings vehicles like 529s or Roth IRAs, and whether they’re truly worth considering. With restrictions on withdrawals, limited clarity, and political uncertainty surrounding their longevity, Chris gives a thoughtful first look at what could be a useful, but possibly short-lived, tool.
