What happens to my money if I change my subscription plan?

If you're downgrading your subscription plan, heads up that this might involve closing certain accounts if you're switching to a plan that doesn't include that feature. When we close an investment account for you, we'll withdraw your money, which means we'll sell any investments and transfer you the balance. We'll let you know if changing your subscription plan will affect any of your investments once you start making the change in your account.

It's important to know that in addition to having potential tax implications, a withdrawal can "lock in a loss" — what that means is if you sell any investments during a market dip, the value of the stock may be less than what you bought it for. Throughout history, we've seen every U.S. market downturn end in an upturn. Long-term investors who stick with it may very well give their money a better chance to recover and grow over time.

Before you downgrade, you might want to consider pausing your investments instead.

Important tax information

If you do close any accounts when you change your subscription, you might receive important tax forms from Acorns that you'll need for filing your taxes. We'll email you more information when it's close to tax time, or you can check for tax forms under Settings.

Your tax situation is unique, you may want to consult a tax advisor or visit www.irs.gov with any questions before closing your account. Acorns doesn't provide tax advice, but if you have any questions or concerns about your account, please contact us.
