Nurse Corps Tax Parity Act of 2025

This bill makes certain Nurse Corps payments tax-free. It updates the tax code so that loan repayment and scholarship money from the Nurse Corps program (under section 846 of the Public Health Service Act) do not count as taxable income. This means nurses getting help to pay for school or repay loans through these programs would not owe federal income tax on that aid .

It would take effect for money received in tax years that start after the bill becomes law, so the change applies going forward, not retroactively .

• Who is affected: Participants in Nurse Corps loan repayment and scholarship programs
• What changes: These payments are excluded from gross income (not taxed)
• When it starts: For amounts received in taxable years beginning after enactment
