Dental Loan Repayment Assistance Act of 2025
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exclude from gross income certain federally subsidized loan repayments for dental school faculty.
Summary
This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to exclude certain federally-subsidized loan repayments from taxable income for dental school faculty. The bill expands existing tax exclusions for loan repayment programs to specifically include the Dental Faculty Development and Loan Repayment Program under the Public Health Service Act, allowing dental faculty who receive federal loan repayment assistance to exclude those payments from their gross income for tax purposes. The tax benefit applies to amounts received in taxable years beginning after the bill's enactment. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to report to Congress on the participation of dental providers and faculty in this program and whether they remain in full-time faculty positions after receiving funding.
