Easier Adoption Tax Credit for Native American Children with Special Needs

This act changes tax rules to recognize Indian tribal governments the same way as states when determining if an adopted child has special needs. This means parents adopting children with special needs from Native American tribes can now qualify for the adoption tax credit, potentially lowering their financial burden.
Key points
Indian tribal governments are now recognized equally with states for adoption tax credit purposes.
Families adopting children with special needs from Native American tribes can more easily claim the tax credit.
These changes apply to tax years beginning after the act's enactment date.
