We especially welcome the proposals to simplify the tax laws for families, including the proposals to adopt a uniform definition of qualifying child for purposes of various child-based benefits, to eliminate the income-related phase-outs for the adoption tax credit and exclusion, to eliminate the household maintenance test for head-of-household filing status, and to simplify the complex computational and eligibility requirements for the earned income tax credit and child tax credit.
The existing adoption tax credit provisions approved in last year's federal tax relief bill do not take effect until 2003.
The adoption tax credit, currently $5,000 per child ($6,000 for special-needs children) was made permanent by EGTRRA Section 202 and increased to $10,000 for tax years beginning after 2001; it can be used to offset AMT.
