Trump Accounts under Sec. 530A are among the most talked-about -- and least understood -- provisions emerging from recent tax legislation.
This session, broadcast live from ENGAGE 2026, helps CPAs understand how these accounts operate across their full life cycle from establishment and funding through the critical age-18 transition and beyond.
Key technical considerations include:
- Contribution strategies (employer, family, and government)
- Investment limitations during the growth period
- Evolving tax treatment under Sec. 530A and Sec. 408
We will also highlight high-impact planning opportunities, spotlighting:
- Early life Roth conversion strategies
- Multigenerational funding coordination
- Integration with existing vehicles such as 529 plans and ABLE accounts.
Attendees will leave equipped with actionable insights to navigate compliance complexities, manage client expectations, and confidently position Trump Accounts as part of a broader “life launch” planning strategy.
