Tax Exempt Hospital Transparency Act This bill requires tax-exempt hospital organizations to report additional information to the Internal Revenue Service. The bill defines a tax-exempt hospital organization as an organization that is licensed or recognized as a hospital and is required to conduct a community health needs assessment and adopt a strategy to meet the needs identified in the assessment, have a written financial assistance policy, limit charges for emergency and medically necessary care provided to individuals eligible for financial assistance and prohibit the use of gross charges, meet certain billing and collection requirements, and file IRS Form 990 (Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax). Under the bill, a tax-exempt hospital organization must include with Form 990 certain identifying information and a description of how the organization addresses the needs identified in the most recent community health needs assessment, the needs not addressed, and the reasons why needs are not being addressed; audited financial statements; the value (at cost) of the financial assistance provided; and the numbers of completed financial assistance applications received, granted, and denied during the tax year. Further information reporting requirements are imposed on certain large or high-revenue tax-exempt hospital organizations. Finally, the bill requires the Government Accountability Office to (1) study and report the costs associated with the additional information reporting requirements, and (2) estimate the amount of tax revenue that would be generated from the 25 tax-exempt hospital organizations with the highest gross revenue if such organizations were not exempt from tax.

Protecting Taxpayers from Ghost Preparers Act This bill limits the amount of time the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has to assess taxes related to fraudulent or false federal tax returns where there is no intent by the taxpayer to evade taxes. The bill also expands the types of documents for which various penalties may be imposed against tax return preparers. As background, the IRS generally has three years from the date that a tax return is filed (statute of limitations) to assess taxes owed by the taxpayer for the tax year. However, if a false or fraudulent tax return is filed with the intent to evade tax (fraud exception), then the IRS may assess taxes at any time. In Murrin v. Commissioner the U.S. Tax Court held (and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed) that the fraud exception applies when a tax return preparer places false or fraudulent entries on a tax return without the taxpayer’s knowledge. In contrast, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims held in BASR Partnership v. Commissioner that the fraud exception only applies if the taxpayer intends to evade taxes. The bill limits the fraud exception to cases in which the taxpayer intends to evade taxes. Further, under the bill, tax return preparers may be subject to penalties related to false or fraudulent documents purporting to be federal tax returns, partnership administrative adjustment requests, or partnership adjustment tracking reports. (Currently, the penalties apply if the documents are valid submissions to the IRS.)

Health Disparity Zones Act of 2026 This bill provides for the designation of Health Disparity Zones in certain geographic areas with documented and measurable health disparities. This designation, which expires 10 fiscal years after the bill's enactment, confers eligibility for certain grants, student loan repayment programs, and tax credits for those working to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes in these zones. Specifically, community-based nonprofits or local government agencies, in coalition with health care providers, social service organizations, and others, may apply to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the designation. The application must include a plan to reduce health disparities and achieve other outcomes. In implementing the program, HHS must consult with, among others, the Department of Housing and Urban Development. When approving applications, HHS shall consider factors including geographic diversity and the commitment of supporting funds from the private sector. HHS (1) may award grants to organizations or agencies that applied for the designation to support activities aligned with their plans, and (2) must carry out a student loan repayment program for health care providers who agree to provide services in a Health Disparity Zone. In addition, the bill establishes tax credits for employers that hire, and individuals who work as, Health Disparity Zone workers.
