Treasury Department Issues Guidance for Employer Contributions to Trump Accounts

The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced new guidance on August 11, 2026, for employer-sponsored programs related to 'Trump Accounts.' This guidance allows employees to make pre-tax contributions to their dependents' Trump Accounts through employer cafeteria plans and permits employers to contribute up to $2,500 tax-free annually to an employee's dependent's account. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that these accounts offer American families a new way to build wealth.
