It’s Tax Day: Learn About the Adoption Tax Credit

The Adoption Tax Credit is one of many ways that families are reducing and even eliminating, the cost of adoption. The Adoption Tax Credit was not made permanent until the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law. For families adopting in 2018, the Tax Credit is $13,840.

For families who adopted in 2017, they are now eligible for the Tax Credit of $13,570.

In some states, there is additional assistance for adoptive families. Be sure to visit the Child Welfare Information Gateway to learn more.

If you are considering adoption, be aware of all of the assistance that is available to adoptive families. From the Adoption Tax Credit to fundraisers, families are getting a great deal of help in financing their adoption!
