President Trump and Secretary Bessent participate in ringing the NYSE and Nasdaq opening bell to officially launch Trump Accounts

U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Public Affairs Press Release: July 6, 2026 Contact: Treasury Public Affairs, Press@treasury.gov President Trump and Secretary Bessent Participate in Ringing the NYSE and Nasdaq Opening Bell to Officially Launch Trump Accounts Washington, D.C. – President Trump and Secretary Bessent participate in ringing the NYSE and Nasdaq opening bell to officially launch Trump Accounts. U.S. Treasury Announces The Official Launch Of Trump Accounts And Full Scope Of The App Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the official launch of the full Trump Accounts app, giving American families a new way to view, manage, and grow their children’s stake in the nation’s economic future. On the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the U.S. Department of the Treasury is marking a historic milestone with the nationwide launch of Trump Accounts, an innovative savings and investment platform designed to ensure that future generations of Americans own a stake in the American economy from day one. “Trump Accounts are now live, giving every child a stake in the American Dream from day one thanks to President Trump,” said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, “The Trump Accounts app is now updated with the full suite of account capabilities: you can start funding your child's account, exploring financial education modules, and more.” Trump Accounts will help families build long-term financial security while deepening their understanding of how our markets work. Full-scope app launch With today’s launch, the Trump Accounts app now offers full-scope functionality nationwide, allowing parents and kids to securely access their account, see their funds in real time, and contribute to their Trump Account directly from their phone or tablet. New account dashboards provide a clear view of balances, contributions, and investment performance, empowering families to track progress as children grow. The app also includes exciting new features for parents, making it easier to set recurring contributions, link bank accounts, and receive personalized guidance on building their child’s financial future. Financial education for families To complement the launch of full account access, Trump Accounts now includes 15 interactive financial education modules for parents and children. These modules introduce concepts such as saving, investing, compound growth, diversification, and the role of American capital markets in supporting businesses and jobs. Parents and kids can explore lessons together in the app as they complete modules and apply what they learn to their own Trump Account. By linking learning directly to a real investment account, the program aims to make financial education concrete, engaging, and actionable for families across the country. Expanding stock ownership from day one Historically, stock ownership in the United States has been unevenly distributed, with many households—especially younger and lower‑income families—having little or no exposure to the stock market. While recent data show that a majority of adults now own stock in some form, millions still lack an easy, trusted way to begin investing for their children’s future. Trump Accounts are designed to change that trajectory by helping children start with a foothold in the American economy from birth or early childhood. By combining automatic contributions, long-term investment options, and clear educational tools, the program seeks to increase the share of Americans who benefit from the growth of U.S. businesses and markets over their lifetimes. Enrollment and market opening If families have not yet signed up for Trump Accounts, they can do so by visiting TrumpAccounts.gov, where they can learn more about eligibility, safeguards, and program features before opening an account. TrumpAccounts.gov also links directly to major app stores where parents can download the official Trump Accounts app. There is no cost to open an account. Employers, charitable organizations, and governments can contribute free money to Trump Accounts, and children can only receive those contributions if they have an account. Once enrolled, parents can begin contributing immediately, and children will be able to track their investments beginning Monday, July 6. Simple performance graphs in the app will help young account holders see how saving and investing over time can build meaningful resources for education, entrepreneurship, homeownership, and retirement. Employer Contributions Over 50 companies have committed to offer Trump Account contributions for children of their employees. Employer contributions are one example of free money that may be available for children through Trump Accounts, even if they aren’t eligible for the $1,000 from Treasury. Trump Accounts give small businesses a new, low-cost, tax-preferred benefit they can use to attract and keep workers, invest in their employees’ families, help workers share in America’s growth, and strengthen Main Street over the long term, while also helping employees build long‑term wealth for their kids. Even small, regular contributions can compound over 18+ years, so modest small‑business dollars can turn into meaningful long‑term assets for employees’ families. If you are a business or company and interested in employee contributions to Trump Accounts, please email TrumpAccounts@treasury.gov . ###

A Look at the First-Year Results of the Working Families Tax Cuts

U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Public Affairs Press Release: July 2, 2026 Contact: Treasury Public Affairs, Press@treasury.gov A Look at the First-Year Results of the Working Families Tax Cuts American Families and Workers Claimed Over $82 billion in Individual Relief Directly from the Working Families Tax Cuts WASHINGTON – As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we also mark another milestone: one year since President Trump signed the Working Families Tax Cuts into law. Treasury’s analysis of the first filing season under the law provides an early measure of the Working Families Tax Cuts impact and the tax relief delivered to low- and middle-income American families and workers across the country. “One year ago, President Trump signed the Working Families Tax Cuts into law, and it took only a single tax season for American families and workers to overwhelmingly benefit from lower taxes, bigger refunds, and increased take home pay,” said Secretary Scott Bessent . “As promised, President Trump and the unity of a Republican majority in Washington delivered this landmark legislation that codifies the America First agenda and lays the foundation for a new era of American prosperity.” BLOCKING A $5 TRILLION TAX HIKE President Trump and Republicans in Washington prevented a $5 trillion tax hike with this landmark legislation, and the American people had a record Tax Day because of it. 97% of filers received a tax cut this past filing season , who would have otherwise owed taxes absent the Working Families Tax Cuts. It should not be forgotten every single Democrat voted against this consequential piece of legislation. If the Radical Left had its way, the American people would have been subjected to the largest tax hike in history. CUTTING TAXES FOR LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME AMERICANS The Working Families Tax Cuts delivered the largest share of tax relief directly to millions of low- and middle- income Americans providing for their families, working overtime, living on fixed incomes, and running small businesses. Despite critics’ claims, d ata from this most recent filing season shows millions of American families and workers claimed expanded tax deductions and credits tied directly to wages, children, overtime, tips, and earned income. The data further shows tax relief was concentrated among American families and workers earning under $200,000 . 96% of filers receiving a tax cut earned less than $200,000. Filers earning between $100,000 to $200,000 , who claimed one of President Trump’s signature tax cuts, received an average tax cut of over $1,250 . Nearly 70% of filers receiving a tax cut earned less than $100,000. Filers earning between $50,000 to $100,000 , who claimed one of President Trump’s signature tax cuts, received an average tax cut over $815 . DELIVERING FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES AND WORKERS Through the April tax filing deadline, American families and workers claimed over $82 billion in individual relief directly from the Working Families Tax Cuts . That relief will grow as taxpayers who have filed for extensions continue to file their returns. President Trump’s signature tax cuts deliver substantial relief to hardworking Americans and provide greater relief and tax certainty to low- and middle-income households. No Tax on Tips : Over 7.5 million filers have claimed No Tax on Tips , with an average deduction of over $7,000 . 90% of filers claiming the No Tax on Tips deduction had income under $100,000. 99% of filers claiming the No Tax on Tips deduction had income under $200,000. No Tax on Overtime : Over 29 million filers have claimed No Tax on Overtime , with an average deduction of over $3,100 . 75% of filers claiming the No Tax on Overtime deduction had income under $100,000. 96% of filers claiming the No Tax on Overtime deduction had income under $200,000. Enhanced Senior Deduction : Over 35 million seniors have claimed the Enhanced Deduction for Seniors , with an average deduction of over $7,500 . 68% of filers claiming the Enhanced Senior Deduction had income under $100,000. 94% of filers claiming the Enhanced Senior Deduction had income under $200,000. No Tax on Car Loan Interest : Over 1.4 million filers have claimed No Tax on Car Loan Interest on their new American vehicles, with an average deduction of over $1,800 . 62% of filers claiming the No Tax on Car Loan Interest deduction had income under $100,000. 98% of filers claiming the No Tax on Car Loan Interest deduction had income under $200,000. Trump Accounts : Over 5.5 million Trump Accounts have been opened , with 1.4 million eligible for the $1,000 pilot program contribution. 86% of all Trump Accounts opened are linked to families earning less than $200,000, giving working families more opportunity to invest in the future of their young, loved ones. Enhanced Child Tax Credit : Nearly 40 million families have claimed the enhanced Child Tax Credit , which is permanently doubled and expanded by the Working Families Tax Cuts. 65% of all families claiming the credit had income under $100,000. 89% of all families claiming the credit had income under $200,000. Doubled Standard Deduction : Over 127 million filers (90% of all tax filers) have claimed the permanently doubled standard deduction , simplifying tax filing for millions across America. ###
