.02 Unearned Income of Minor Children Subject to the “Kiddie Tax”. For taxable years beginning in 2023, the amount in § 1(g)(4)(A)(ii)(I), which is used to reduce the net unearned income reported on the child's return that is subject to the “kiddie tax,” is $1,250. This $1,250 amount is the same as the amount provided in § 63(c)(5)(A), as adjusted for inflation. The same $1,250 amount is used for purposes of § 1(g)(7) to determine whether a parent may elect to include a child's gross income in the parent's gross income and to calculate the “kiddie tax.” For example, one of the requirements for the parental election is that a child's gross income is more than the amount referenced in § 1(g)(4)(A)(ii)(I) but less than 10 times that amount; thus, a child's gross income for 2023 must be more than $1,250 but less than $12,500.

For taxable years beginning in 2023, under § 23(b)(1) the maximum credit allowed for other adoptions is the amount of qualified adoption expenses up to $15,950. The available adoption credit begins to phase out under § 23(b)(2)(A) for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income in excess of $239,230 and is completely phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income of $279,230 or more.

The threshold phaseout amounts and the completed phaseout amounts shown in the table below for married taxpayers filing a joint return include the increase provided in § 32(b)(2)(B), as adjusted for inflation for taxable years beginning in 2023. The threshold phaseout amounts and the completed phaseout amounts shown in the table below for single, surviving spouse, or head of household taxpayers also apply to married taxpayers who are not filing a joint return and satisfy the special rules for separated spouses in § 32(d).

Threshold Phaseout Amount (Single, Surviving Spouse, or Head of Household)	$21,560	$21,560	$21,560	$9,800
Completed Phaseout Amount (Single, Surviving Spouse, or Head of Household)	$46,560	$52,918	$56,838	$17,640
