Summary
This bill increases the adoption tax credit to $25,000 (from $17,280 in 2025) and establishes a nonrefundable tax credit for qualified in vitro fertilization expenses.
Under current law, the adoption tax credit is allowed for (1) qualified expenses incurred to adopt an eligible child up to the maximum statutory amount, or (2) the statutory maximum amount (regardless of actual expenses) if adopting an eligible child with special needs. The statutory maximum amount is $17,280 (per eligible child) in 2025, which is adjusted for inflation. Further, under current law, the adoption tax credit begins to phase out for individuals with a modified adjusted gross income exceeding $259,190 (in 2025 and adjusted for inflation), such that the tax credit completely phases out (in 2025) for individuals with a modified adjusted gross income of $299,190 or more.
The bill increases the adoption tax credit statutory maximum amount to $25,000. Further, under the bill, such amount continues to be adjusted annually for inflation.

Finally, under the bill, an individual is allowed a nonrefundable tax credit for expenses paid (or incurred) for medical care (e.g., treatment, insurance, and transportation) related to in vitro fertilization for the individual (or the individual’s spouse if filing a joint federal income tax return). However, an individual may not claim the in vitro fertilization tax credit and other allowed tax deductions or credits (e.g., medical expense tax deduction) for the same expenses.
