Get your taxes done using TurboTax
IsabelleG,
I input all items, including medical expenses, charity, etc. Then turbotax calculated we owed IRS $3,xxx (in red color). After clicking and entering the deduction of the Adoption of $13,xxx, we now have a return of nearly $10,000 (in green color); plus there were items that the turbotax found out as error and we re-entered those. We thought the adoption is only a credit; rather than a refundable amount. (The previous noted $18,xxx was mistakenly as the total in the "You and Your Family").
In other word, we thought to enter only $3,xxx for the adoption credit to even out what we owed IRS and carryover the rest $10k to next year. I am not sure if we do it correct; we thought we did something wrong but not sure.
