Parents and grandparents of children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, may have access to a new planning opportunity: a one-time $1,000 federal contribution to a Trump (530A) Account established for an eligible child. At first glance, $1,000 may not seem particularly significant. However, when that contribution is combined with annual family funding and decades of tax-deferred investment growth, the long-term impact can be substantial.

Berliner Cohen Attorney Joseph Feldman discusses what a 530A account is and what families can do to incorporate 530A accounts into their estate planning strategies. Read on: https://bit.ly/3SwBBpE.
