REACH Act

This bill would create a refundable federal tax credit of $10,000 per year for certain health care workers who work at least 900 hours during the year in a rural area. Eligible workers include primary care practitioners (including OB-GYN physicians), mental health professionals, nurses, and medical residents in approved training programs. The credit would be reduced for taxpayers with adjusted gross income above $170,000 and would phase out completely at $180,000. The credit would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026, and would end for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2033.
