One question I have though. I've looked at the form and one of the first lines is for an ID number (like a social securty number or something). What do you put there? I do plan of seeing an accountant because this will be far more complex than any taxes I've had in the past.
Thanks for this thread! [/b]

The answer to your question is you put nothing on the CID. We had a failed adoption and filled out all the forms correctly I called the IRS 10 times before I got someone who knew what to do. And when they pointed it out to me that its on the instructions exactly what to do I felt like such a fool. But its hard to find. Anyway,you write on the line where it asks for the childs name "see page 2" and on page 2 (which you will make yourself and add to your return) you will write that you had a failed placement and list all of your qualified expenses. Its that simple. I thought I had to give copies of all of my receipts but you do not need that. We got every cent back as a credit on our return. It works as long as you do everything correctly. I hope this helps.
