Summary of Bill S 2895

Bill 118 s 2895, also known as the Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to make the adoption tax credit refundable, meaning that families who adopt a child would be able to receive a refund if the credit exceeds their tax liability.

The adoption tax credit is a non-refundable credit that helps offset the costs associated with adopting a child. Currently, if a family's tax liability is less than the amount of the credit, they are not able to receive the full benefit of the credit. This can be a barrier for many families who are looking to adopt, as the costs of adoption can be significant.

By making the adoption tax credit refundable, this bill aims to make adoption more accessible and affordable for families across the country. This could potentially lead to an increase in the number of adoptions, as more families would be able to take advantage of the credit. Overall, the Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act of 2023 is a bipartisan effort to support and encourage adoption in the United States. It is currently being debated in Congress, and its passage could have a significant impact on the adoption process for many families.
