↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Creates a state income tax deduction for up to $10,000 in IVF expenses, reducing the after-tax cost of undergoing IVF and thereby increasing access to the procedure.
For taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2025, but before January 1, 2030, up to $10,000 for expenses incurred during the taxable year by an individual or married individual filing jointly directly related to and for the purposes of such individual or married couple undergoing in vitro fertilization.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new subdivision 19 to the Virginia income tax deductions statute that specifically allows a deduction for IVF expenses. This provision falls under the abortion/personhood-ivf topic because it directly subsidizes IVF through the tax code, which is explicitly listed in the topic description. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
