Get your taxes done using TurboTax

TurboTax developers have worked on this situation in the program.  You should be able to claim the adoption credit without being required to list a specific child's name and other information on the form in the case of a failed adoption attempt.  This matches the IRS instructions saying that those fields can be left blank if you do not have the information.  

 

There may still be a flag on the screen asking for missing information, but you can proceed with claiming the credit without entering the info being flagged.
