Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for a refundable adoption tax credit.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change the adoption tax credit to be refundable, meaning families could receive money back even if they owe no taxes. Currently, the adoption tax credit only reduces the taxes people owe. The bill modifies federal tax law to allow adoptive parents to receive refunds when the credit exceeds their tax bill. The measure has bipartisan support from 31 senators across both parties. The bill was introduced but has not yet moved through the process.
