Fed Regg Intel deadline watch for Monday, October nineteenth, twenty twenty-six. This is a reminder about one open proposal, not a roundup of rules published today. The Internal Revenue Service and Treasury proposed guidance on eligible investments for Trump Accounts. The notice says those investments are the only assets Trump Account funds could hold before the first day of the calendar year the beneficiary turns eighteen. The proposal could affect account beneficiaries and trustees. Written or electronic comments, and requests for a public hearing, must be received by Tuesday, October twentieth. That deadline is stated in the Federal Register notice itself. If this proposal affects you, read the proposed rule and docket, identify the specific provision you are addressing, and explain your practical concern or supporting evidence. The comment docket is IRS dash twenty twenty-six dash ten ninety dash zero zero zero one. Follow the official submission instructions and check the docket before sending. This is a proposed rule, not a final requirement, and this video is educational information, not tax or investment advice.

Quick recap: comments and public-hearing requests on the IRS eligible-investments proposal are due October twentieth, twenty twenty-six. Read the official notice and docket before submitting.
