Easier Tax Credits for Tribal Adoptions
New rules make it easier for families to claim adoption tax credits when adopting a child from an Indian tribe. This change means tribal governments will be treated the same as state governments when determining if a child has special needs, potentially making the credit accessible to more families. The law applies to tax years beginning after its enactment date.
Key points
Tribal governments are now recognized equally with states for adoption tax credit purposes for children with special needs.
This change may simplify the process for adoptive families with children from Indian tribes to claim the tax credit.
The new rules apply to tax filings starting in the year the act is passed.
