How do I claim my child’s Trump Account?

Use the official Trump Accounts app or website. You verify your identity and your authority to manage the account, then claim and activate it. If Treasury opened the account automatically, you don’t need Form 4547 to open it, but you do need to claim it before you can manage it.
