If you adopt an eligible child, you may be able to claim the Adoption Credit or income exclusion for employer-provided adoption benefits. Qualified adoption expenses are limited to $17,280 per qualifying child for 2025. The credit and the exclusion apply to international, domestic, private or public foster care adoptions.

Beginning in tax year 2025, a portion of the Adoption Credit is refundable up to $5,000. The non-refundable portion of the credit can be carried forward for a maximum of 5 years; however, it cannot result in a refund. Any remaining non-refundable portion after 5 years is forfeited. Please review the IRS link below and speak to an accountant if you have any questions about this credit.

You can claim the Adoption Credit on your federal income taxes for up to $16,810 in qualified expenses.
