Americans file for tax returns due on April 15, 2024, and some tax credits are refundable.
Adoption Credit is up to $15,950
Adoption credit is nonrefundable, but it can be used for up to five years. According to The Ascent’s article, the adoption credit is up to $15,950, which is the biggest tax credit you can claim. If you owe $5,000 for this year’s tax, the remaining credit amount can be used to offset your taxes in the next four years.
If you have adopted a child under 18 years old, or who is not capable of taking care of themselves, physically, or mentally, regardless of age, you can file for the adoption tax credit. Exemptions are your stepchildren. This is intended to offset the high cost of adopting, such as legal fees, and logistics. To qualify, your 2023 modified adjusted gross income must be between $239,230 and $279,230.
