Adoption tax credit
With the year coming to an end and thinking about taxes (ugh!), I was wondering if anyone has received the adoption tax credit on their past tax returns? Or does anyone know the answers to these questions?
1. Does the adoption need to be completed? Child home?
2. Does the visa type make a difference and/or does the child need to be readopted if not a US citizen?
3. Does the child need to have a SS#?
4. Do we submit copies of cancelled checks, receipts, or what? Is there a special form to fill out?
5. Can we split the $ 10,000 credit across a couple years?
If there are too many questions (sorry, I kept thinking of more...), is there a good website that addresses this? I will ask our accountant these questions, but I thought I would ask here, too. Maybe this question will help someone else as well. Thanks in advance for your help! Donna
