Dietary Supplements Access Act
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to include dietary supplements as qualified medical expenses.
This bill, known as the Dietary Supplements Access Act, proposes to change the Internal Revenue Code to classify dietary supplements as qualified medical expenses. This means that individuals could potentially deduct the cost of dietary supplements from their taxable income, similar to other medical expenses. The bill would impact people who regularly use dietary supplements and wish to reduce their tax burden by including these costs as deductible expenses.
The bill was introduced on May 20, 2026, by Representative Darin LaHood, with bipartisan support from Representatives Brendan Boyle, Brian Fitzpatrick, Josh Gottheimer, and Claudia Tenney. After its introduction in the House, it was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means for further consideration. Currently, the bill is in its initial stages, having just been introduced and referred to the appropriate committee.
As of the latest update, the bill is in its introductory phase, with key actions including its introduction and referral to the Committee on Ways and Means. The next steps will involve committee review and potential hearings to debate the merits of the proposed changes.
