Through the Hope for Children Act, the U.S. Treasury Department allows a $10,630 per adopted child income tax credit towards qualified adoption expenses. The tax credit is an amount you subtract from your tax liability for adoption expenses, including “reasonable and necessary adoption fees” and travel expenses, etc. Income limits do apply, and the credit may not be more than your total tax liability minus other credits, but the credit may be carried forward over the next five years. Check with your tax advisor regarding your eligibility.
