Costs for an adoption vary widely from $0 to $50,000 depending on the type of adoption pursued. 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.
However, the expenses allowable for the adoption credit are limited to $10,000 ($13,190 total expenses paid less $3,190 employer reimbursement). Example 2. The facts are the same as in Example 1, except that you pay $18,190 of qualified adoption expenses and your employer reimburses you for $5,000 of those expenses.
