The new Trump Accounts are officially here—and with the rules now finalized, parents and grandparents have much more clarity about how these accounts actually work. While the promise of a $1,000 government contribution has captured plenty of attention, the real planning opportunities lie in understanding the fine print, tax treatment, contribution limits, and long-term strategies these accounts create.
