S. 2189, the Equal Access to Reproductive Care Act, amends the tax code to allow families to deduct assisted reproduction expenses as qualified medical expenses on their taxes. The bill covers a broad range of fertility treatments and services, including in vitro fertilization, egg and sperm donation, surrogacy, and other procedures designed to help people conceive and carry pregnancies to term. This tax benefit would apply to taxpayers, their spouses, and dependents who intend to have legal custody of children born through these methods. The legislation takes effect for tax years beginning after it becomes law, meaning families could start claiming these deductions on future tax returns. By treating fertility care the same as other medical expenses, the bill aims to make reproductive treatments more affordable and accessible to a wider range of Americans.
