The Nurse Corps Tax Parity Act of 2025 amends federal tax law to exclude certain payments received by nurses from the U.S. Public Health Service Nurse Corps from being counted as taxable income. Specifically, the bill expands the existing tax-exempt treatment for Public Health Service loan forgiveness and scholarship programs to include payments under a newly referenced section of the Public Health Service Act. This change applies to nurses who receive financial assistance or loan repayment benefits through the Nurse Corps program, allowing them to keep more of their compensation without federal tax liability. The tax benefits take effect immediately for amounts received in tax years after the bill becomes law. By aligning the tax treatment of Nurse Corps payments with similar federal health service programs, the legislation aims to make nursing service more financially attractive and competitive with other health professions.
