The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service today issued Revenue Procedure 2026-25 PDF providing a gift tax reporting safe harbor for certain contributions to Trump accounts created under the Working Families Tax Cuts.
Under this safe harbor, if certain requirements are met, contributions made by individual donors to Trump accounts in a given year will not be subject to gift tax reporting requirements for that year.
“By granting this relief, the IRS has responded to concerns raised by taxpayers who planned to make contributions to a Trump account but worried such donations would trigger the gift tax reporting rules,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano. “The relief granted will reduce the potential burden placed on friends and family who want to put money into a Trump account.”
