HR 1208 would remove federal tax deductions for businesses that pay for an employee's travel to obtain an abortion or that cover gender transition procedures for an employee's child under age 18. The bill does not make either benefit illegal. It was introduced in February 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, where it has not become law.
Employers who currently offer these benefits as part of health or wellness packages are the primary people affected. Employees whose companies provide these benefits could be indirectly affected if employers choose to drop the coverage.
Removing the deduction would make these benefits more costly for companies to provide, because employers would no longer be able to reduce their taxable income by offering them. That added cost could lead some employers to eliminate the benefits from their coverage options.
