*IMPORTANT FINANCIAL NOTIFICATION*
Please be advised that you may be eligible for an adoption grant through the state of Ohio if you are completing any type of an adoption other than an adult or stepparent adoption. You must take advantage of this within one year of your adoption finalization. You may apply for the grant at adoptiongrant.ohio.gov under the state’s Ohio Adoption Grant Program.
All families may be able to receive a $10,000 grant for any adoption (except adult or stepparent adoptions), a $15,000 grant for a foster or kinship caregiver adoption or a $20,000 grant if the child(ren) is deemed to have special needs, be a part of a sibling set, etc.
You may also be eligible for a federal adoption tax credit in the amount of up to $14,800 for each child. It is income based. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide tax advice. Please contact an accountant to discuss any questions you may have about this tax opportunity.
