After you file the IRS form

What happens after I file the IRS form?

Filing the IRS form is just the first step of the process. After the IRS receives and processes your form, you’ll receive an email from no-reply@TrumpAccounts.Treasury.gov with follow-up instructions to activate the account. You’ll be able to activate the account through a “Trump Accounts” mobile app, or online at TrumpAccount.com (“account,” not “accounts”). When you’re completing the activation process, you may receive communications from noreply@trumpaccount.com to verify you are who you say you are. As of May 29, 2026, TrumpAccount.com is the URL of the app to manage accounts, even though the official government information page is TrumpAccounts.gov. Beware of any impostor communications from TrumpAccounts.com (with an S), which is an independent and unrelated website.

You must complete this activation process to set up your account. You won’t receive any contributions or start earning interest until you activate the account.

Follow-up communications started going out on May 28, 2026. If you signed up for a 530A earlier this year, you should receive your follow-up by early July.

This separate activation step is required because a private company, Robinhood, will actually manage and maintain the account. Robinhood needs to connect directly with you to set you up as the controller of the account. The mobile app and TrumpAccount.com are run by Treasury and Robinhood.

I got a communication about my 530A and I’m not sure if it’s legitimate or trustworthy. What should I do?

You may get messages about your 530A from the IRS or from Robinhood, the company processing the accounts. The messages may be sent from trumpaccount.com, which is run by the US Treasury and Robinhood. If you get a communication from anyone else claiming to be about your account, it is likely a scam.

Most official messages about 530A accounts will come from no-reply@TrumpAccounts.Treasury.gov. You may also receive verification communications from noreply@trumpaccount.com. If you get emails from any other addresses, it is likely a scam.

The Treasury will not contact you via phone or text message about your 530A. If you receive calls or texts, these are likely scams.

I already filed the IRS form and have not received any follow-up communications. What do I do?

Follow-up communications from no-reply@TrumpAccounts.Treasury.gov began going out on May 28, 2026. The emails are not going out all at once, and you may not get your email until early July. If you signed up earlier this year and haven’t heard anything yet, your follow-up probably just hasn’t arrived yet.

It’s also possible that you signed up using the form on TrumpAccounts.gov which was available until mid-May. As of late May, the government has announced that 530A sign-ups submitted on TrumpAccounts.gov did not count. Unfortunately, if you signed up using the TrumpAccounts.gov online form before mid-May, you’ll need to sign up again.

Haven't filed your taxes? You might be leaving money on the table

You may want to file a tax return even if you did not work or earned very little income. Filing taxes may help your family access benefits, tax credits, and a 530A account.
