Tolleson says IRS safe harbor lets Trump Account gifts avoid Form 709 if within annual exclusion
  • Tolleson Wealth Management flagged IRS Revenue Procedure 2026-25 as clarifying gift-tax treatment for IRC §530A “Trump Accounts.”
  • Cash contributions qualify as completed gifts of present interests, supporting annual exclusion treatment, easing earlier concerns over “future interest” characterization.
  • Form 709 filing not required under a safe harbor if total annual gifts stay within the $19,000 2026 exclusion and $15 million lifetime exemption.
  • Safe harbor also requires contributions before the beneficiary turns 18, donor is an individual, and no other gift tax return trigger applies.
  • Commentary highlighted estate-planning impact by shifting future appreciation outside taxable estates, despite the $5,000 annual per-beneficiary contribution cap.
