Adoption Tax Credit Question

Question

If I paid the qualified expenses in 2008, but the adoption will not be finalized until 2009, do I get to take the adoption tax credit when I file my taxes in 2009?

Answer 1

If you incur the expenses in 2008 then you claim them in 2009. 2009 expenses in 2010.  

Answer 2

You have to wait until the adoption is finalized.

Answer 3

Is this a US baby or a foreign baby?
