Sperm Donor Pay & Egg Donor Compensation

The Surrogates, Egg & Sperm Donors Fix Kit

Built for surrogates, egg and sperm donors.

Donating or carrying for another family is generous work, and it comes with a contract and real money. The leaks are in the paperwork around it: expenses you were owed and never submitted, escrow payments that arrive late, milestone payments missed when a cycle changed, and tax nobody set aside. I wrote this kit so you can check what your own contract says, keep your own records, and ask in writing for what you are owed.

No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 7 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.

Compensation with no tax set aside

A pro decides
What to do
  1. Total the compensation you received this year, separate from reimbursements.
  2. In Perez v. Commissioner, the U.S. Tax Court held that an egg donor's compensation was not damages and must be included in income (VERIFIED: Accounting Today on Perez v. Commissioner, 2015).
  3. Open a separate savings account and move a set share of each payment into it the day it arrives. A tax preparer sets that share with you.
  4. Keep every payment record and any tax form you receive.
  5. Take your contract and payment records to a tax preparer.

Your part: Set money aside and see a preparer.

Words you can use
Question to a tax preparer:

Hi [NAME], this year I received [AMOUNT] in compensation and [AMOUNT] in reimbursements under a [SURROGACY / DONOR] agreement. Can you tell me how each is taxed, what to set aside, and whether I should make estimated payments? Thanks, [YOUR NAME]
Keep it from coming back

Move the set-aside the day each payment lands.

What this kit can't decide for you: How your payments are taxed is your tax preparer's call.

That's 1 of 7. The other 6 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

What people in this work look up

When surrogates, egg and sperm donors go looking for answers, they search things like “surrogate compensation”, “egg donor compensation”, “sperm donor pay” and “surrogacy taxes”. Those searches turn up forms, averages and other people's numbers. This kit starts from your own records instead: the 7 places money leaks in this work, where to look first and the words to send to close each one.

Questions people ask

Compensation with no tax set aside: where do I start?

Start here: Total the compensation you received this year, separate from reimbursements. To keep it from coming back: Move the set-aside the day each payment lands.

Expenses owed under the contract never submitted: where do I start?

Start here: Read your contract's list of covered expenses: travel, meals, lodging, childcare, lost wages, maternity clothes, medications. To keep it from coming back: Submit receipts on the contract's schedule.

Mileage to appointments never claimed: where do I start?

Start here: Keep a log of every trip to a clinic, lab, pharmacy or attorney: date, from, to, miles, purpose. To keep it from coming back: Log every trip the day you drive it.

What it can't decide for you

This kit works from your own records. It doesn't give legal, tax, licensing or financial advice, and it never tells you what to charge. Where a CPA, attorney, insurer or state board makes the call, the kit says so and gets your records ready for them.
