US Top News and Analysis | Robinhood, BNY to build Trump Accounts app Robinhood, BNY to build Trump Accounts app The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced Monday that Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) will be the designated financial agent for Trump accounts. BNY will manage the initial accounts and has partnered with Robinhood to develop a yet-to-be-released Trump Accounts app, according to an announcement on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street." The initiative, launched on July 4, provides tax-deferred investing accounts for children born between 2025 and 2028, featuring a one-time $1,000 Treasury deposit for eligible participants. As of March 31, more than 4 million children had been signed up for Trump accounts, with over 1 million eligible for the Treasury’s $1,000 pilot program contribution, per the IRS. Parents or guardians can enroll by filing IRS Form 4547 with their 2025 tax returns or via TrumpAccounts.gov. The authentication process is expected in May, with seed money arriving on July 4. BNY, alongside other large employers, previously pledged to match the Treasury’s $1,000 contribution for employees’ children, reinforcing the program’s goal of expanding financial opportunity. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev affirmed the company’s support for Trump accounts “from the very beginning,” citing its technology resources and commitment to the program’s success. Contributors can add up to $5,000 annually in after-tax dollars, with employers able to deposit up to $2,500 pre-tax yearly for employees’ children. The contribution limit is indexed for inflation after 2027, and philanthropists in multiple states have committed to seeding accounts for qualifying families. The IRS emphasized collaboration with the Treasury to simplify enrollment through a one-page tax return form.

yahoo news | The IRS Lost a Quarter of its Staff & Called Palantir The Internal Revenue Service has shed roughly a quarter of its workforce in recent years, prompting the agency to turn to private‑sector technology to shore up its audit capabilities. In 2025 the IRS awarded Palantir a $1.8 million contract to improve a custom “Selection and Analytic Platform” (SNAP), a pilot tool meant to pinpoint the most valuable cases for audits, collections and potential criminal investigations. Agency officials said the existing maze of more than 100 business systems and 700 methods was producing duplicated effort, high costs and poor case selection, so they turned to Palantir’s data‑layer technology—distinct from its flagship Gotham or Foundry products—to streamline and prioritize work as tax season approaches. Palantir’s expanding role inside the federal government stems from the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025,” a 900‑page blueprint aimed at shrinking the “administrative state” and substituting private tech firms for under‑staffed agencies. The plan, backed by a coalition of conservative organizations, advocates attrition‑driven cuts that make agencies appear ineffective, then invites contractors to fill the gaps. Pew Research reported a 10.3 % reduction in the federal workforce in 2025, equating to about 238,000 jobs lost. Palantir, whose leadership and investors have long aligned with Trump‑era politics, was a natural pick for the IRS, mirroring similar privatization pushes at the TSA and other departments. The partnership carries an ironic twist: Palantir co‑founder Peter Thiel has a well‑documented history of tax avoidance, having built a multi‑billion‑dollar tax‑free war chest through a Roth IRA maneuver. He now helps craft the very tool meant to hunt down such strategies. Moreover, Palantir’s SNAP will likely run third‑party AI models—such as those from OpenAI, Anthropic or others—through its Maven Smart System, potentially feeding those companies massive amounts of confidential taxpayer data. Whether that represents a breakthrough in efficiency or a privacy vulnerability depends on the lens through which it is viewed.

"Biden said partnerships were evading $100B in taxes. Trump says🚨they shouldn’t have to report the transactions. The Trump admin signaled a plan Fri🚨to revoke a 2-year-old tax rule designed to crack down on an arcane but highly lucrative tax avoidance tactic used by some of the largest & most complicated bus'." The #TrumpRegime steals💰from the US Treasury in numerous ways, & may deplete it further to benefit the 1%. #Corruption #IRS #TaxEvasion #Treasury #Protest #USPol https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/03/07/trump-tax-loophole-partnership-basis-shifting/
