TAX TIME TIPS:

Thanks to the St. Louis Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition (www.foster-adopt.org) for pulling together the following helpful information for foster/adoptive families during Tax Season:

The Missouri Tax Credit can only be applied to non-recurring, non-reimbursed adoption related expenses. Since the State of Missouri offers adoption subsidy which covers legal fees, home study, etc., most families who adopt a child from foster care do not qualify for this tax credit. Additional information on the tax credit can be found on-line by visiting:  http://dor.mo.gov/tax/taxcredit/atc.htm.

The Federal Adoption Tax Credit is available to families who adopt a child from foster care without needing to incur or document their expenses, like the Missouri Adoption Credit. This tax credit is based on an individual’s tax liability. The North American Council on Adoptable Children (NACAC) has additional information on the Federal Tax Credit available on their website:   www.nacac.org/postadopt/taxcredit.html.

There are also various tax considerations for foster parents and relatives/kin. The National Foster Parent Association has produced a booklet that further provides tax information for those individuals. The booklet can be downloaded from their website, www.nfpainc.org.

If you need additional information, please call MFCAA at 816-350-0215
