## Summary

**A refundable tax credit for non-directed living kidney donors.** This bill would create a targeted credit to encourage people to donate a kidney to an unknown recipient by offsetting donor costs across five years. - Donors: Eligible donors could claim $10,000 a year for five years after a qualified non-directed living kidney donation. The credit is refundable so donors could receive money even if they owe no federal income tax. - Patients seeking transplants: By incentivizing non-directed living donations, the bill may expand the pool of kidneys available for people on transplant waitlists. - Tax and legal rules: The bill adds a new Sec. 36C to the tax code, updates internal cross-references, and clarifies the credit is not treated as payment for an organ under the National Organ Transplant Act. - Timing and sunset: The credit would apply to kidneys removed after December 31, 2026 and would not be allowed for donations after December 31, 2036.
