ADA Outlines Tax Priorities

The American Dental Association is outlining its priorities on small business tax policy. In a Feb. 5 letter to the Ways and Means Committee, the Association provided input on policies it said would affect oral health, health care access, and the broader health care system. In its letter, the ADA urged Congress to renew tax policies that “are essential to supporting small business dental practices.” Drs. Kessler and Cohlmia also encouraged Congress to exempt loan repayment programs from taxable income, such as the Indian Health Service Loan Repayment and Scholarship Program and the Dental Faculty Loan Repayment Program.
