If your state requires readoption (most do), then you can take the adoption credit starting in the year the readoption is complete, in your case 2006. I say "starting" because you have up to 5 years to take the credit limit. Your first year of claim should be the year the readoption is complete. I brought my daughter home in 2004 but did not complete the readoption until 2005 (slow MA courts!). I am not liable for $10,000 of taxes per year so I will take what I can this next tax season and then take the rest for the 2006 fiscal year. Hope this helps!
