Question: How does the 10,000 special needs adoption tax credit work?

I’ve read I get to claim the whole 10K without documentation. Is that true? Does anyone have experience with this? Any info would be appreciated.
You didnt even come close to answering my question. I’m talking about not having reciepts for adoption expensense related to taxes and if you are referring to me only adopting for the money you are sadly mistaken. I’ve worked with emotionally disturbed kids for seven years. It is what I am good at so I want my own. Yours is a common reaction though. Most people cant believe a person would adopt these kids out of love. What a sad selfish world we live in. Hey its the American way!!! Whatever is best for the individual… screw the rest. I’m American by the way…

Answer: I understood that the $10K adoption credit was for ANY adoption, not specifically “special needs”.

That being said, we adopted a “special needs” child in 2004. We actually brought him home in 2003, but could not claim the adoption credit until the adoption was finalized in 2004. The only adoption information that we needed was an adoption tax ID number since he did not have a social security number.

I wish I could be of more assistance, but I believe you could research more about the tax credit on the internet.

Good luck!
