Baby's First Money Kit 2026 PDF English

What you get

The federal government created a new tax-advantaged savings account for children born 2025-2028, with a one-time $1,000 seed contribution — but the contribution rules are more generous than the headline $5,000 figure suggests, and the eligibility/filing process (Form 4547) has its own quirks. This kit lays it out clearly, for parents and grandparents alike.

What you get:

• Guide PDF (14 pages) — the basics, eligibility, how to open an account via Form 4547, the full contribution rules (including what does and doesn't count toward the $5,000 private-contribution cap), a side-by-side comparison with 529 plans and custodial accounts, a grandparent's guide to contributing, and a milestone tracker.

• Clear breakdown of a common point of confusion: the $1,000 government seed contribution and any Qualified General Contributions from states or nonprofits do NOT count against your $5,000 annual private-contribution limit — only contributions from parents, family, and employers do.

Who it's for: parents and grandparents of a child born 2025-2028 who want to understand this new account without wading through IRS instructions.
