Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you entered your Adoption Credit Carryover for 2023 as 9K, and no new expenses were added in 2023, how much was applied to your tax due this year?   If none was applied, the 9K would carryover to 2024.  If an amount was used, then the balance would carry over. 

 

You can see the calculations on Form 8839.  The credit shows on Schedule 3, Line 6c, then flows to Form 1040, Line 20.  If you're using TurboTax Desktop, go to FORMS in the upper right corner to view these forms.

 

In TurboTax Online, you will need to pay for your return and save a PDF copy of it to review Form 8839. However, you can go to Tax Tools > Tools > View Tax Summary (from the pop-up).  Then back at the left-side menu, choose 'Preview My 1040'.

 

The Adoption Carryforward amount to 2024 is not included in your Efiled tax return.  If it is incorrect, you can enter the correct amount in that section in 2024.
