We adopted 3 children in 2021 and still have a credit carryover for 2024. We then adopted 2 children in 2024. I have entered all their information but when I look at the forms I see form 8839 copy 1 of 2. Copy 2 0f 2 is not listed anywhere. What do I do?

You may not need the second page of Form 8839, as it reports employer-provided adoption benefits. If you didn't have that, you would not need that form.

I should have 2 page 1 but only have 1. There is only room for 3 children and I have 5. 3 were adopted in 2021 and 2 in 2024. I still have adoption credit carryover from the first three.

I went through the program and added 4 children. The program realized there were 2 form 8839s, one for the first 3 and one for the 4th child. I had to go into Forms mode to make it show in my return. If you are using the program online, print all forms, worksheets, etc to see if it will show. Mine was correct and would have filed properly to the IRS, it just did not want to be seen.

I can see it using the desktop version.

As long as the numbers are carrying correctly, the form is there and will be filed. If you want to switch to desktop to see it all, see How do I switch from TurboTax Online to the TurboTax software?
