Good news about the Adoption Tax Credit:
It has been extended through 2012!
The current tax credit for adoption is $13,360 and in 2012 it will be lowered slightly: $12,170. 2013 will bring the lowest adoption tax credit we’ve seen in years: $5,000 for a healthy child and $6,000 for a Child with special needs. While the news for 2013 doesn’t look as nice as 2012 it is still encouraging for parents who will complete their adoptions in the next two years.
