Nobody Told Me
Last week, I found out some very exciting news. The Steve and I had been under the impression that we couldn’t claim AJ (as a dependent) on our 2007 taxes unless we had completed the finalization process (making him a citizen, and therefor obtaining a social security number). Thanks to someone awesome, it was pointed out to me that AJ is eligible for a tax ID number. And so, I’ve filled out the very short and easy form to request such a number and will be mailing it off today. In 4-8 weeks, we’ll have an ID number so that we can claim him on our taxes. Woo hoo!
We still wont be able to claim our Adoption Tax Credit until finalization, but, hey, we’ll take what we can get.
