the "kiddie tax," is $1,000. This $1,000 amount is the same as the amount provided in § 63(c)(5)(A), as adjusted for inflation. The same $1,000 amount is used for purposes of § 1(g)(7) (that is, 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 2014 must be more than $1,000 but less than $10,000. .03 Adoption Credit. For taxable years beginning in 2014, under § 23(a)(3) the credit allowed for an adoption of a child with special needs is $13,190. For taxable years beginning in 2014, under § 23(b)(1) the maximum credit allowed for other adoptions is the amount of qualified adoption expenses up to $13,190. The available adoption credit begins to phase out under § 23(b)(2)(A) for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income in excess of $197,880 and is completely phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income of $237,880 or more. (See section 3.18 of this revenue procedure for the adjusted items relating to adoption assistance programs.) .04 Child Tax Credit. For taxable years beginning in 2014, the value used in § 24(d)(1)(B)(i) to determine the amount of credit under § 24 that may be refundable is $3,000. .05 Hope Scholarship, American Opportunity, and Lifetime Learning Credits. (1) For taxable years beginning in 2014, the Hope Scholarship Credit under § 25A(b)(1), as increased under § 25A(i) (the American Opportunity Tax Credit), is an amount equal to 100 percent of qualified tuition and related expenses not in excess of
