The Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act 2009, is now in House Committee. This bill’s purpose is to make permanent the extension of the 1997 Adoption Credit originally introduced by Bill Clinton. For the tax year 2009, adoptive parents may claim up to $12,150 in tax credits to offset qualifying adoption expenses. The current Adoption Credit expansion will expire in December 2010. We encourage you to contact your representative and your senators and ask them to support and vote in favor of bill H.R. 213 in the House and bill S.2816 in the Senate.
