Expenses include among other things expenses paid "for the doption of your spouse's child". See http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8839.pdf. the relevant paragraph starts on bottom of page 1 and continues onto page 2 of the instructions. This does not agree w/ the Pub 17 instructions though. << ================================================== ===== > << The foregoing is intended for educational purposes only > << and does NOT constitute legal OR professional advice. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2006) - All rights reserved. > << ================================================== ===== > |
