Adoption is awesome and the tax credit just makes it a Little easier on people financially. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-tax-credit-renewed#post-479024 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:59:59 +0000 loveletter 479024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also want to add that the credit is not refundable, meaning you can only get back what you have paid in taxes (I believe). But I am still very excited and thankful for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-tax-credit-renewed#post-478969 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:44:16 +0000 loveletter 478969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YAY!!!! I am so thrilled! This is going to make a world of difference to me and my husband in this adoption!</p> <p>There don't seem to be a lot of news articles to share, so I am copying and pasting this from The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute:</p> <p>Good news! The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the bill to avert the fiscal cliff) made the adoption tax credit permanent!</p> <p>Permanently extend the increased adoption tax credit and the adoption assistance programs exclusion. Taxpayers that adopt children can receive a tax credit for qualified adoption expenses. A taxpayer may also exclude from income adoption expenses paid by an employer. The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 increased the credit from $5,000 ($6,000 for a special needs child) to $10,000, and provided a $10,000 income exclusion for employer-assistance programs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 extended these benefits to 2011 and made the credit refundable. The bill extends for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, the increased adoption credit amount and the exclusion for employer-assistance programs as enacted in EGTRRA. </p>
