Turbo Tax is making me complete form 8839 for qualified adoption expenses. I assume because my employer reimbursed me part of my adoption expenses through their employee adoption assistance program. However, I do not have any “qualified” adoption expenses that would go on IRS form 8839 because my adoption was a “step-parent” adoption and the IRS does not consider expenses paid for adopting a spouses child eligible. Why didn’t turbo tax ask me is my adoption was a step parent adoption before making me fill in information for this form? How do I fix this?
