Do Surrogates Get Taxed? [2023 Tax Year]

You earn exceptional compensation as a surrogate. Learn more about how to document your surrogate pay on the your taxes.

Becoming a surrogate is the adventure of a lifetime. You get to fulfil the dreams of the intended parents while earning compensation that you can use to create a better future for you and your family.

As a surrogate, you can earn $50,000-$110,000+ for the heroic service you’re providing. Because this is such substantial compensation, it’s important to know how to document it when tax season rolls around.

If you have questions about your surrogate pay, fill out our online form or text 913-0204-0224 for immediate assistance.

Do Surrogates Get Taxed?

There are no clear-cut surrogacy laws regarding taxes, so there are not any established cases or state laws specifically addressing being a surrogate and paying taxes.

That being said, you will likely need to report your surrogate compensation on your taxes. If you receive a 1099 MISC from, you are required to claim your compensation as income on your taxes.

That’s why we recommend reaching out to your surrogacy specialist or a local tax lawyer to get the most up-to-date information.

What is a 1099-MISC Form?

A 1099 MISC form is an official document used to report miscellaneous income, such as payments to independent contractors, rent, royalties and prizes or in this case, surrogate compensation.

It is typically issued by a payer (such as an employer, client, or financial institution) to a recipient who received payments during the tax year.

The primary purpose of the 1099 form is to report income that is not subject to withholding tax. Unlike regular employees who receive a W-2 form, individuals who receive 1099 forms are responsible for calculating and paying their own taxes.

What if I Don’t Receive a 1099-MISC Form?

Surrogates are still legally obligated to report their earnings. Each surrogacy journey is unique, so it’s essential to consult with your surrogacy professional for personalized advice.

Ideally, discussions about surrogate compensation and taxes should start during the drafting of the surrogacy contract. Experienced surrogacy attorneys can guide you through this legal step.

Why Do Surrogates Pay Taxes?

Your surrogate compensation is treated as your income for the amazing service you’re providing. Because of this, tax entities place surrogates under the category of “self-employed individuals” when it comes to paying taxes on surrogate pay.

This means you are responsible for both the employer and employee portions of Social Security and Medicare taxes. Unlike traditional employees, surrogates shoulder these costs themselves.

If you have questions about surrogate pay and taxes, contact us today to get the answers you need.

The information in this article should not be taken as financial or legal advice. Please contact a local tax lawyer for information on tax laws where you reside.

What is Gestational Surrogacy?

Understanding the gestational surrogacy process can be impactful whether you are interested yourself or you know someone who might be.

Gestational surrogacy is a remarkable family-building method that allows individuals or couples struggling with infertility to achieve their dreams of parenthood by partnering with a surrogate who carries and delivers the baby on their behalf.

Unlike traditional surrogacy, gestational surrogacy ensures that the surrogate is not genetically related to the child she carries. In this article, we will delve into the step-by-step gestational surrogacy process and shed light on how a surrogate remains biologically unrelated to the baby.

To get more information about gestational surrogacy, fill out our easy form or text 913-204-0224.

What is Gestational Surrogacy?

One of the distinguishing features of gestational surrogacy is that the surrogate is not genetically related to the baby she carries. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate’s own eggs are used, making her genetically related to the child.

However, in gestational surrogacy, the embryo implanted in the surrogate’s uterus is created using the eggs of the intended mother or an egg donor, eliminating any genetic connection between the surrogate and the baby.

How Does Gestational Surrogacy Work? [5 Steps]

Step 1: Initial Consultation

The gestational surrogacy process begins with an initial consultation, where you will reach out to us to discuss your interest in surrogacy. During this phase, you will go over your application with your surrogacy specialist and discuss your surrogacy preferences and goals. If you meet our requirements for surrogacy, you’ll be able to move forward with the process.

Step 2: The Screening Process

You will undergo an extensive screening process that includes medical and social history, background checks, a home visit for surrogates and psychological evaluations. Our screening process ensures that everyone is fully prepared for the journey ahead.

Step 3: Finding a Perfect Match

Following the initial screening process, we will carefully assess the compatibility between you and your surrogacy match. This step involves considering factors such as lifestyle preferences, communication styles and shared expectations for the surrogacy journey. Open and transparent communication between you and your surrogate or the intended parents is encouraged to ensure that both parties feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.

Step 4: Creating a Contract

Once a compatible match is found, you will draft a surrogacy contract with an attorney who specializes in surrogacy laws in your state. These legal agreements are drafted to outline the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. Your contract will cover issues such as compensation, medical decisions and parental rights. Legal professionals ensure that all parties fully understand and agree to the terms before moving forward.

Step 5: Becoming Pregnant

With legalities in place, the medical process begins. The surrogate will undergo a medical evaluation to ensure she is physically capable of sustaining a healthy pregnancy. Eggs are retrieved from the intended mother or an egg donor, and sperm is collected from the intended father or a sperm donor.

The resulting embryos are created through in vitro fertilization (IVF). One or more healthy embryos are then transferred to the surrogate’s uterus after she has completed a regimen of fertility medications.

Step 6: Pregnancy Monitoring and Support

Once pregnancy is confirmed, the surrogate receives regular medical check-ups and support from a team of healthcare professionals. The intended parents may also be involved in the process, attending doctor’s appointments and forming a supportive relationship with the surrogate.

Why Do People Choose the Gestational Surrogacy Process?

People choose surrogacy for a variety of reasons. In some cases, individuals haven’t found the right partner and surrogacy allows the opportunity to have a child as an individual. In other cases, couples may have infertility or may be in a same-sex relationship where neither partner can carry a pregnancy.

As examples, people in the following scenarios may benefit from surrogacy:

A woman who had cancer in her 20s and had to have her uterus removed, but froze her eggs before undergoing cancer treatment may be able to have biological children with a partner or on her own later in life.

A couple who has unexplained fertility and has tried IVF with no success may be able to have a successful pregnancy with the help of a surrogate.

A couple who has one child already, but who had complications during labor or delivery that make a second pregnancy dangerous.

This ensures that you can focus on the well-being of the child you’re carrying without having to worry about financial stressors.

How Surrogacy and Ethics Go Hand-in-Hand

1. Requirements and A Screening Process

We have a set of requirements that all of our surrogates must meet to ensure they are physically and mentally capable of safely carrying a pregnancy to term:

Age 21-40
BMI 19-32
At least one successful prior pregnancy
No more than five vaginal births and three C-sections
Must be currently raising a child
No smoking or illicit drug use

These requirements are based off of standards set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and exist to protect the well-being of the surrogate and the child she may carry.

Our surrogacy program ensures that each surrogate undergoes a thorough screening process to guarantee physical and emotional well-being of all parties involved. This step is crucial not only for the surrogate’s health but also for the overall success of the surrogacy journey. This will consist of:

Completing social and medical history forms and obtaining a surrogacy recommendation from their OB/GYN
Collect medical records of previous pregnancies and deliveries to confirm that surrogacy is safe for the prospective surrogate.
An in-home visit to ensure that you have a safe and stable home-life where you can safely carry out a healthy pregnancy. During this visit they will also be asked about their motivation for becoming a surrogate, any concerns they have, their partner’s involvement in their surrogacy, etc.
A psychological evaluation for the surrogate and their partner to ensure they’re both mentally and emotionally prepared for the surrogacy journey. They’ll be asked about why they want to be a surrogate, their emotions regarding the journey ahead and their family’s support of your decision.
An insurance review to determine whether or not their policy covers surrogate pregnancy or if we need to find a family that has a surrogacy-friendly policy.

2.cOMPEnsation for their time and effort

We provide all of our surrogates with fair surrogate compensation for the time, physical and emotional commitment involved. This compensation consists of:

Base pay: This is money that is paid directly to the surrogate that they can use to enhance their life and their family’s lives in any way they choose.
Additional expenses: Our surrogacy compensation package covers all pregnancy and surrogacy-related expenses so that surrogates don’t have to worry about finances or using their own surrogate pay.

You can’t put a price on the miracle of bringing new life into the world, nor would we want to. Providing surrogate compensation is our way of acknowledging the generosity and dedication of surrogates to helping others experience the joy and love of parenthood.

3. Legal Protections and Contracts

In the U.S., every state has its own set of surrogacy laws. These laws ensure the ethical conduct of surrogacy arrangements. We prioritize connecting our surrogates with surrogacy attorneys who specialize in their state’s surrogacy laws.

These legal professionals help our surrogates create agreements that address potential challenges, protect their rights, establish expectations and responsibilities and more, offering surrogates a sense of security throughout the process.

“The best part for me is having that long relationship with them (the intended parents) now. Seeing the experiences that they have and the fun kid that he’s growing to be is powerful to say that I helped do that. Because I was a surrogate I feel like I’m a superhero.” – Allisandra, one of our surrogate mothers.

Although there are many misconceptions out there about surrogacy, the benefit of being a surrogate is that you not only give the gift of parenthood to others but also experience a journey filled with self-reflection, emotional maturity and heroism.

What is a Career Surrogate?

A career surrogate is essentially an experienced surrogate. For many women, this experience is enjoyable and something they want to repeat as they are able to. There are a number of surrogate requirements you have to meet to continue as a surrogate, but once you’ve met them once and gone through the process, you will likely continue to meet these standards. This allows for a smoother process each time you go through the surrogate process.

Surrogacy can be a calling for many women who want to help others. This can create a positive and quality experience for everyone involved. If you find you want to continue being a surrogate and continue meeting the requirements, you can be a surrogate.

Benefits of Becoming a Career Surrogate

One of the main benefits of becoming a career surrogate is the experienced surrogate pay you receive. This can be a life-changing amount for many women and their families. Our experienced surrogate pay ranges from $60,000-$110,000. Where you live and how many times you’ve been a surrogate factor into this amount. For those career surrogates who are on their third or even fourth experience as a surrogate, this can be on the higher end. Surrogate pay often helps with:

Paying off debt
Purchasing a car
Purchasing a home
Paying for college
Putting money away for kids
Creating once-in-a-lifetime memories

Another benefit to being a career surrogate is your ability to understand the process. Because you have been through the entire surrogacy journey before, you understand the physical and emotional demands of the process. This goes a long way when working with parents who want a trusted surrogate to carry their baby. There’s nothing better to many parents than having a trusted individual to carry their child.
