I have researched the required situation and I know that we qualify for the special needs adoption situation, and we could get an actual refund of that money even though we didn't have a lot of adoption expenses or overall tax liability. I have done the handwritten paper forms and worksheets just to make sure, read all the instructions, googled the topic on multiple forums, and we def qualify for the special needs adoption credit. But when I put all the info into TT, it tells me that the whole amount will carry over to next year because we don't have a big tax liability. I don't understand why it doesn't connect as an actual refundable credit in the software, please help!! Thank you!!!
