What is a Trump Account?<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"lead\">A Trump Account is a new tax-favored individual retirement account established for the exclusive benefit of a child. The child is the account owner, while a parent, guardian, or other authorized adult generally manages the account while the child is a minor.<\/p>\n      <p>The IRS describes Trump Accounts as a new type of individual retirement account for children created by the Working Families Tax Cuts. Although the account is treated as a type of traditional IRA, it has special rules during the child\u2019s growth period.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"warning\"><strong>Training note:<\/strong> A Trump Account is not a checking account, not a custodial UTMA\/UGMA account, and not a 529 college savings account. It is a retirement-account structure with special child-focused rules.<\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n    <section class=\"card\" id=\"eligibility\">\n      <h2>2.
