talked to IRS

Ok, I just got off the phone with the IRS. What they said is this...If you pay in 5000 dollars through the year and at the end of the year would normally get a refund of 2000 dollars, then you are still paying in 3000 dollars in taxes to the IRS. The tax credit can take that 3000 you were supposed to pay down to 0. Then you can take the credit up to 5 years to use up as much of the 10,000 as you qualified for. In my case that is 10,000 total because we are doing a special needs adoption.
Hope this helps, if you want, call the IRS, the number is 1-800-829-1040.
