Easier tax credits for adopting children from Native American tribes.
This act makes it easier for families to claim adoption tax credits for children with special needs if the adoption is recognized by tribal authorities. It means adoptions approved by Indian tribal governments will be treated the same as those approved by state authorities, potentially lowering adoption costs for some families.
Key points
Indian tribal governments will be recognized equally with states for determining if an adopted child has special needs, which is relevant for the adoption tax credit.
These changes can help families adopting children from Native American tribes receive financial support through tax credits.
The new rules will apply to tax years beginning after the act's enactment date.
