Summary of Bill HR 3662

Bill 118 HR 3662, also known as the Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to make the adoption tax credit fully refundable, meaning that families who adopt a child would receive the full amount of the credit even if they do not owe any federal income tax.

Currently, the adoption tax credit is non-refundable, which means that families can only receive the credit up to the amount of their tax liability. This can be a barrier for lower-income families who may not owe enough in taxes to fully benefit from the credit. By making the credit refundable, this bill aims to make adoption more accessible and affordable for all families, regardless of their income level.

The Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act of 2023 has received bipartisan support in Congress, with lawmakers from both parties recognizing the importance of supporting adoptive families. Proponents of the bill argue that making the adoption tax credit refundable will help more children find loving homes and reduce the financial burden on families who choose to adopt. Overall, Bill 118 HR 3662 seeks to improve the adoption process in the United States by making the adoption tax credit more equitable and accessible to all families. It is currently being debated and considered by Congress, with the hope of passing into law in the near future.
