We adopted two children w/ special needs in 2021. I haven't had any issues filing in 2021 or 2022. This year, TT is saying that my carryforward to 2024 is $17,500. For context, the full amount in 2021 was $14,440 per child (so, $28,880 for us). The carryforwards were roughly $19k into 2022 and $9k into 2023. It seems very strange to me that my carryforward into 2024 is $17.5k. It makes me think I'm doing something incorrectly or TT has a bug. I spoke with support for quite some time and he basically said he didn't think there was a problem and to trust the software. I don't want to turn around and have a liability and owe the IRS because I filed the credit incorrectly.
