Adoption Financing

An income tax credit is available for families that pay United States income taxes. This is a direct dollar for dollar credit off your owed taxes. For tax year 2006 up to $10,960 of qualifying expenses can be carried over for up to five years. While this credit won't assist most families with their up-front costs, many families have used this money to assist in paying off adoption loans. There are income limits and your adoption does have to meet certain criteria (most do!), so contact your tax professional or the Internal Revenue Service for additional information.
