Employees are eligible for FMLA leave if all of the following apply: 1  Theyâve worked for their employer at least 12 months. 2  Theyâve worked at least 1,250 hours over the past 12 months, or about 25 hours per week. 3  They work at a location where the company employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles.
It generally costs from $0 to $1,000 to adopt a child from a County Foster/Adopt program. These children are often older, but sometimes infants are placed. A voluntary adoption of a newborn through a non-profit agency will generally cost between $10,000 and $25,000.
*The maximum amount available will continue to grow each year with the cost of living. It should also be noted that the maximum amount available is per child. So if you claim $3,000 in adoption expenses in 2014, you could only claim $10,400 in 2015 when the adoption finalized. Additionally because the adoption tax credit is nonrefundable, if your liability is less than your total available credit, you may only use what you owe in taxes until the following year.
