MAGA Accounts in the Trump Tax Bill

On May 14, the House Ways and Means Committee voted to advance “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill,” which contains President Trump’s tax priorities. One provision in the bill is a new savings option for children under age 8. If enacted, the tax-advantaged vehicles will be called Money Accounts for Growth and Advancement (MAGA). Eligible children will begin with a one-time deposit of $1,000 by the U.S. government. Funds would be inaccessible until the beneficiary turns 18, and annual contributions would be capped at $5,000 annually. To qualify, a child must be a U.S. citizen at birth and have a Social Security number. The bill now goes to the House Budget Committee.
