Section 70204 of the One Big Beautiful
Bill, P.L.119-21 established "Trump Accounts," a new type of
tax-advantaged savings account for children. These accounts are for
children under 18. Form 4547 and Form 8879-TA will be used to make
the elections to establish the accounts.
The Department of the
Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) request the
creation of OMB Control Number 1545-NEW, Form 4547, Trump Account
Election(s) under emergency procedures in connection with
provisions of sections 70204 of Public Law 119-21, commonly known
as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The IRS needs to
publish Form 4547 and Form 8879-TA before December 31, 2025, so
that parents, guardians, and other authorized individuals can elect
under section 530A to establish a Trump account for the benefit of
an eligible individual and, if applicable, elect under section 6434
to receive a pilot program contribution to the Trump account as
soon as sections 530A and 6434 are effective (January 1, 2026).
Following normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would
thus result in harm to children eligible to benefit from a Trump
account or pilot program contribution because they would be unable
to submit their elections starting January 1, 2026. Therefore, due
to the extraordinary circumstances and statutory deadlines for
implementing the sections 530A and 6434, the Treasury and IRS
request emergency processing of this information collection request
by December 23, 2025.
This is a new paperwork burden
approval. Based on the new statute, the burden for this collection
will increase by an estimated 85 million responses and 64.85
million hours.
