The Nurse Corps Tax Parity Act of 2025 would allow nurses who receive certain federal scholarship and loan repayment assistance through the Nurse Corps program to exclude those payments from their taxable income. Currently, some healthcare worker assistance programs receive favorable tax treatment while the Nurse Corps program does not, creating an inequality that this bill aims to fix. The legislation amends the tax code to treat Nurse Corps payments the same way as other federal health profession loan forgiveness and scholarship programs, meaning affected nurses would not owe federal income taxes on this assistance. The bill would apply to all payments received in tax years after it is enacted, with no specific funding authorization mentioned. This change is intended to make the Nurse Corps program more competitive in recruiting and retaining nurses by improving the financial benefits nurses receive through the program.
