Recognizing Indian Tribal Governments for Purposes of Determining Whether a Child Has Special Needs for Purposes of the Adoption Credit
Section 70403 · Sec. 70403 ·
What this chapter is about
This part lets a tribal government decide that a child has special needs. Before this only a state could. The change starts with tax years after December 31, 2024.
“in subparagraph (A), by inserting "or Indian tribal government" after "a State", and”
The section inserts the words or Indian tribal government after a State in subparagraph (A) and after such State in subparagraph (B) of section 23(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
What the document actually says
“in subparagraph (A), by inserting "or Indian tribal government" after "a State", and”
That sentence, in plain words
Four words are added to a tax rule. They are or Indian tribal government. They go right after the words a State.
What this is about
A second insert is made in the next part. The rule decides if a child has special needs. That finding opens a bigger credit.

Both things the section does: add Indian tribal governments to the special needs test, and fix the effective date.
Nothing in the section is left out. It has two subsections and each is recorded.
The section works by amending section 23(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, which is not indexed here, so what the special needs test requires cannot be checked against anything on this site.
