About DumpAccount.com

A free, independent guide for new U.S. parents to Trump Accounts, Roth IRAs and 529 college savings plans, published by Phikanet.

What this site is

Trump Accounts are children's savings accounts created by the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The U.S. Treasury puts a one-time $1,000 into the account of every eligible child born from 2025 through 2028.

This site tells parents to claim that $1,000, and explains why their own savings usually do better in a 529 plan or a Roth IRA. Trump Accounts are tax-deferred: the growth is taxed as ordinary income when it comes out. Growth in a 529 used for school, or in a Roth IRA, is tax-free.

The site is also political commentary. Its name is a parody of the official program, and one section quotes public officials on Social Security cuts and privatization. Each item in that section is labeled as on the record, reporting, projection or analysis, so you can tell sourced quotes from opinion.

What you can do here

• Learn what a Trump Account is, who qualifies, and how to claim the $1,000 with IRS Form 4547 or at trumpaccounts.gov.
• Compare a Trump Account with a Roth IRA and a 529 plan side by side.
• Use the calculator to see how much of the account's growth goes to taxes at age 18.
• Follow a three-step plan, and see what to do with the account when your child turns 18.
