Employees are eligible for FMLA leave if all of the following apply: 1  Theyâve worked for their employer at least 12 months. 2  Theyâve worked at least 1,250 hours over the past 12 months, or about 25 hours per week. 3  They work at a location where the company employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles.
It generally costs from $0 to $1,000 to adopt a child from a County Foster/Adopt program. These children are often older, but sometimes infants are placed. A voluntary adoption of a newborn through a non-profit agency will generally cost between $10,000 and $25,000.
You can claim both the exclusion and the credit for expenses of adopting an eligible child. For example, depending on the cost of the adoption, you may be able to exclude up to $13,190 from your income and also be able to claim a credit of up to $13,190. But, you cannot claim both a credit and exclusion for the same expenses.
