In the lead-up to the official launch on July 4, a growing number of parents and guardians have opened an account for a beneficiary by filling out IRS Form 4547 with their 2025 tax return or on TrumpAccounts.gov , but many more are still eligible. According to the Census Bureau , in 2024, a quarter of U.S. households had at least one child under 18 years old. Altogether, there were roughly 73.1 million children under age 18 nationwide that year, which means millions more children could still take advantage of the new tax-deferred investing accounts .
