Surrogacy in Washington D.C. costs you nothing. All of your surrogacy- and pregnancy-related costs are covered by our compensation package.
Do Surrogates Have to Pay Taxes in Washington D.C.?
Your surrogate compensation is income for helping others realize their dreams of parenthood. Because D.C. has an individual income tax, your compensation could be taxed at the city and federal level.
Whether or not you receive a 1099 from the escrow company we work with or not, we recommend contacting a local tax accountant to make sure you’re fully informed about your tax situation.
Do Surrogates Get Paid if They Miscarry?
Yes, you receive surrogate pay with us if you miscarry. If there is a loss of pregnancy, your payments will stop. Your protocol for the case of a miscarriage is laid out in your surrogacy contract but typically, you will be paid up until the point the miscarriage occurred.
If you and the intended parents decide to try again, you will begin receiving payments once your pregnancy is confirmed. Miscarriages are nobody’s fault. We want to ensure you still get the pay you deserve, no matter what happens on your surrogate journey.
