One of the more interesting aspects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was the implementation of a new kind of investing account dubbed Trump Accounts (TAs). Originally called “Invest America Accounts” and “American Opportunity Accounts” before their polarizing renaming, the intent of TAs was to provide a financial stake in the capital markets for all children starting at birth so they will learn about investing, benefit from compound growth, and share a common interest in the broad success of American industries.

The legislation about these TAs was rapidly changing all the way up until it was passed, so there is quite a bit of false information on the internet about these accounts that resulted from differing versions of the House and Senate bills. I finally gave up and just went to the legislation itself to find a definitive source for information.
