  • Company enrolled approximately 2 million accounts or one-third of all 530A Trump accounts nationwide 
  • 90% of clients eligible for government seed money enrolled  
  • Enrollment rates consistent across income levels  

H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) today released results showing that its first-mover commitment to 530A Trump Accounts has made it the national leader in helping families open the new tax-advantaged savings accounts. The company enrolled 90 percent of its clients eligible to receive the $1,000 government seed deposit, which includes families with children born between 2025-2028. 

Created under the Working Families Tax Cut, formerly called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, 530A Trump Accounts are tax-deferred savings accounts for children under 18. In addition to the one-time $1,000 contribution from the U.S. Department of the Treasury for children born between 2025-2028, families, employers, and nonprofits can contribute up to $5,000 per child each year. Employers are able to provide up to $2,500 of that total. 

H&R Block built 530A Trump Account enrollment directly into every tax-filing experience. The result: H&R Block enrolled approximately 2 million of the 6 million Trump Accounts opened nationwide as of mid-June 2026. 

“Our mission is to help our clients build financial confidence and long-term security, not just at tax time, but all year round,” said John Thompson, vice president of financial services, H&R Block. “By making it seamless for families to open these accounts, we’re helping millions of parents take a concrete step toward financial planning for their children. That’s the value of having an expert in your corner.”  

An expert on your side makes a measurable difference 

Among the 303,000 H&R Block clients with newborns eligible for the $1,000 government seed deposit, the company drove a 90% enrollment overall. In its offices where clients worked with a tax pro, 99% of eligible clients enrolled. The 275,000 that enrolled could receive up to 275M in government contributions to their newborn’s Trump Account.   

H&R Block’s enrollment rates were consistent across income levels; reinforcing that accessible, expert-guided enrollment is key to making wealth-building tools work for people who need them most.
