Bill > A07811

This bill proposes to amend the New York tax law to allow for a deduction from personal gross income for expenses incurred in the adoption of a child in the foster care system. The deductible expenses include adoption fees, medical and legal fees, court costs, and any other related expenses paid or incurred by the taxpayer during the taxable year. The bill would apply to all taxable years beginning on or after January 1 of the year it becomes law.
