26 U.S.C. § 128 — Employer contributions to Trump accounts
submitted 1 year ago by Pub. L. 119-21 to r/title-26-INTERNAL-REVENUE-CODE · 230 words · no verdicts yet
Employer contributions to an employee's or dependent's Trump account aren't taxed as income. The tax-free amount can't exceed $2,500 per employee. After 2027, that cap rises yearly for inflation, rounded down to the nearest $100. The employer must offer this through a separate written plan meeting rules like section 129(d).
Gross income of an employee* does not include amounts paid by the employer as a contribution to the Trump account of such employee or of any dependent of such employee if the amounts are paid or incurred pursuant to a program which is described in subsection (c).
The amount which may be excluded under subsection (a) with respect to any employee shall not exceed $2,500.
In the case of any taxable year* beginning after 2027, the $2,500 amount in paragraph (1) shall be increased by an amount equal to—
such dollar amount, multiplied by
the cost-of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which the taxable year begins by substituting “calendar year 2026” for “calendar year 2016” in subparagraph (A)(ii) thereof.
If any increase determined under subparagraph (A) is not a multiple of $100, such increase shall be rounded to the next lowest multiple of $100.
For purposes of this section, a Trump account contribution program is a separate written plan of an employer for the exclusive benefit of his employees to provide contributions to the Trump accounts of such employees or dependents of such employees which meets requirements similar to the requirements of paragraphs (2), (3), (6), (7), and (8) of section 129(d).
