Adoption Tax Credit
Adoption Tax Credit
Benefits for adoption include both a tax credit for qualified adoption expenses paid to adopt an eligible child and an exclusion from income for employer-provided adoption assistance.
This adoption tax credit for foster care adoption allows adoptive parents to claim all adoption expenses, including necessary fees, travel expenses and court fees. The credit is nonrefundable, which means it’s limited to your tax liability for the year.
