Creates a $2,000 tax credit for nurses who mentor new nurses in underserved areas.
This bill would create a new $2,000 tax credit for certain nurses starting in 2026. To get the credit, a nurse would need to mentor nursing students or newly hired nurses for at least 200 hours a year. This mentoring must happen in communities that lack enough healthcare professionals, aiming to boost nurse training where it's most needed.
Today, nurses who mentor students or new hires do not receive a specific federal tax credit for their efforts. If this bill becomes law, eligible nurses who mentor for at least 200 hours a year in health professional shortage areas would be able to claim a $2,000 tax credit. This change would start for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
