New Questions from Visitors

Question: If a family receives the adoption tax credit does it get added to their taxable income for the year that they received the credit? Read ACT's response. (1 month 1 day ago)
Question: What do you do when you have allegations against you other than child abuse. It's about getting food stamps and I was lied to. Now they want me to pay back. I still got my foster children removed after 4 years of having them and was ready to adopt. I found out one of my children has a tumor on the brain. I haven't had them since Feb 18, 2011. If this is what they do with the children i feel sorry for every child who comes into foster care. Sometimes agencies and caseworkers get jealous or just don't like you. Read ACT's response.
