Dental Loan Repayment Assistance Act of 2025

This bill would change the tax rules so that certain federal loan repayments given to dental school teachers would not count as taxable income. In plain terms, if a dental school faculty member gets help from a federal program to pay back student loans, that help wouldn’t be taxed. The goal is to make it easier to attract and keep teachers in dental schools and clinics.

It also requires a federal review to see how well these programs are working—checking who takes part, and whether they stay on as full‑time faculty teaching and treating patients in dental school, hospital, or community clinics after getting the help.

Key points

• Who is affected: Dental school faculty who receive federally subsidized student loan repayment help; the review focuses on participants in the Dental Faculty Development and Loan Repayment Program.
• What changes: These loan repayment amounts would not be counted as taxable income; a government report will track participation and whether recipients remain full‑time faculty in clinical settings.
• When: Applies to amounts received in tax years that start after the law takes effect.
