Hi @ReneeM7122, that doesn't seem correct to me. On the IRS instructions for Form 8839 (https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8839), it says to "Leave blank any entries you are unable to complete" for line 1. It doesn't make sense to put an approximate/intended birth year when we are trying to adopt a newborn, because the form only let's me put the current tax year or earlier, so we are in 2024 now and I would be putting 2023 for the intended birth year - it just doesn't make logical sense. I think the TurboTax form needs to be revised so that the birth year (as well as name and SSN) can be left blank. Could you please look into this? I need to claim my credit for expenses from 2022 but don’t feel comfortable putting incorrect info on the form.
