chadlonetree Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 A few things I know. The credit is now refundable, and the form must be paper filed. I am assuming that even though this is just a carryforward amount reported on the 8839 that it too must be paper filed. Does anyone know an estimated date for the release of the 8839? I assume the instructions for 2010 will answer my questions (what documentation must support the adoption even though it is a carryforward), but the form and instructions don't seem to be available on the irs site yet.

mcb39 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I am waiting myself to see how this is going to wash out. I have clients who adopted three special needs children in one year. This is their fifth (and last) carryover year. I am at a loss as to how this is going to calculate and they are not going to be happy to find out that they have to paper file. Even the instructor at Tax Insight Educational classes did NOT know the answer. In fact, he was surprised when I showed him the doc regarding the carryforward credit. Will have fun working this one out. Quote
