Overview

  • TrumpIRA.gov will list private IRAs for people without a plan at work and will explain how to claim the new Saver’s Match.
  • Treasury must open the site by Jan. 1, 2027, and only IRAs with total fees at or below 0.15%, no minimums, and simple index or target-date choices can be listed.
  • The Saver’s Match begins with the 2027 tax year and pays a 50% match up to $1,000 per saver, with full eligibility up to about $20,500 in income for single filers and $41,000 for joint filers and phaseouts to $35,500 and $71,000.
  • Treasury, Labor, and the IRS now need rules and operational systems so custodians can accept government match deposits, which industry analysts say is a tight build.
  • Roughly 56 million workers lack workplace plans, and experts say bigger gains likely require Congress to add automatic enrollment or expand match rules, noting state auto‑IRA growth and the earlier federal myRA’s shutdown for weak demand.
