Abstract:
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.
Emergency Justfication:
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.
