# US Treasury proposes new Trump Account paycheck rules 2026-08-13T01:04:55+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The US Treasury and IRS have proposed rules allowing employers to contribute up to $2,500 tax-free each year to employees’ Trump Accounts for dependent children. Workers can also make pre-tax payroll deductions into these accounts. The proposal, open for public comment until an October hearing, follows a $6.25 billion pledge by Dell founder Michael Dell and his wife for the child savings initiative, renamed Invest America accounts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the guidance helps families grow wealth from day one. Over 50 companies have committed to contributing, and about 7 million children have been enrolled so far. Eligible children are any US child under 18 with a Social Security number, with a one-time $1,000 Treasury deposit for those born between 2025 and 2028. Other contributions are capped at $5,000 annually per child. A Mercer survey found only 4% of employers expected to offer contributions in 2026-27, while two-thirds decided against it. The Treasury hopes the rules will increase adoption. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: child savings, Dell, IRS, tax rules, Trump Accounts, US Treasury Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/us-treasury-proposes-new-trump-account-paycheck-rules/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
