Can I rollover funds from a 530A Trump Account into my CalABLE Account?
A 530A account, also known as a Trump or Invest America Account, is a new type of individual retirement account for children. 530A Accounts are launching in 2026 as a result of recent federal legislation.
Funds can be transferred from a 530A Account to a CalABLE account through a direct rollover. However, the rollover can only take place during the calendar year in which the child (the 530A Account beneficiary) turns 17. The entire balance of the 530A Account must be transferred to the CalABLE account during the rollover process. Instructions about how to request a rollover will be provided as more details become available from federal regulators.
A rollover from a 530A Account does not count towards the CalABLE Annual Contribution Limit. Additionally, a rollover would not count toward the Maximum Account Contribution Limit of $529,000. Keep in mind, though, that for SSI recipients, CalABLE balances over $100,000 are treated as a countable asset.
The amount of the 530A Account rollover is not included in the beneficiary’s gross income for federal tax purposes either.
