Parents and relatives can contribute up to $5,000 annually to this account until the child turns 18, with potential adjustments for inflation after 2027. If fully funded and left untouched, this financial head start for infants could balloon to as much as $1.9 million by age 28, according to the Treasury Office of Tax Analysis.” (Watch)
