Maximizing Benefits: A Closer Look at the Updated Adoption Tax Credit

Adopting a child can be a fulfilling yet financially demanding process. Luckily, changes to the adoption tax credit are here to provide adoptive families with more financial support. For the year 2025, the adoption credit has a ceiling of $17,280, applicable for qualified expenses per adoption rather than per tax return. Image 2

An important update this year is that the credit has become partially refundable, with up to $5,000 of it being refundable. This means that if the adoption credit exceeds your total tax liability, you can receive this amount as a cash refund. This is a significant development that can offer substantial financial relief to adoptive families.
