We are adopting domestically. What is the impact on taxes and are there any credits?

For the 2026 tax year, the federal adoption tax credit allows eligible taxpayers to claim up to $17,670 of your qualified domestic adoption expenses per eligible child by completing and attaching Form 8839 to your tax return; the credit phases out for modified adjusted gross incomes between $265,080 and $305,080, offering up to $5,120 as a refundable portion while allowing any remaining unused nonrefundable credit to carry forward for up to five years.
