What is the Federal Adoption Tax Credit?

Currently, the U.S. government offers a tax credit for certain families. This adoption tax credit is better than a tax deduction since it is based on after tax money.

The adoption tax credit is available in the year the adoption is finalized. The adoption tax credit does have an income phase-out depending on your level of income. The Federal adoption tax credit is part of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.

It is advised you check with your tax provider and/or visit the link Federal Adoption Tax Credit for Special Needs Adoption.

The link Tax Benefits for Adoption from the U.S. government website is helpful.
