Wisconsin state law allows a deduction from AGI under the individual income tax for adoption fees, court costs, or legal fees relating to the adoption of a child, for whom a final order of adoption has been entered in a Wisconsin court during the taxable year. The deduction only is allowed for full-year residents who are adoptive parents.
