Tax-Free Investing -- July 5, 2026

Locator: 51113RMDS.

It's amazing. It seems that to whom everyone I mention that I love engaging with chatbots, they all say they don't like / trust/ use chatbots. They warn me that chatbots are not always correct. Well, duh, there are few people / things in life that are 100% completely error-free. 

To a person, they all say that if I use a chatbot, I need to be careful. Well, duh, that's also true with "everything" in life.

Tonight, working with a chatbot (Gemini) I now feel completely comfortable knowing much more about a Trump account. 

But after a long discussion with Gemini I solved another problem. I have two inherited IRAs (very small) and my own traditional IRAs which now require fairly large RMDs. I have taken the redemptions (minus the taxes) and placed them in, unfortunately, taxable accounts. But while discussing Trump Accounts with Gemini, I realized that I could turn around and place those RMDs in other tax-free accounts, like Trump accounts, or a "529." 

It's a given that this grandchild will have education expenses going forward, and moving money from one tax-free account (my personal IRAs -- the RMDs) into another tax-free account makes a lot of sense. 

So, a two-for me tonight: Gemini helped me understand a Trump account a whole lot better, and during the discussion it dawned on me how one can move money (RMDs) to another tax-free account (the "529 plan" already set up) -- and completely tax-free if used for education. 

By the way, I learned that I can chose the way I want to invest in that 529. 

Again, same link as the link at the top of the page, but important enough to link it twice.
