(2) For tax year 2024, and all tax years thereafter, and in addition to the credit provided in subsection (b), there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax liability of a resident individual imposed under the Kansas income tax act an amount equal to 100% of the amount of the credit allowed against such taxpayer's federal income tax liability pursuant to section 23 of the federal internal revenue code determined without regard to subsection (c) of such section for the taxable year in which such credit was claimed against the taxpayer's federal income tax liability.

(b) For tax year 2014, and all tax years thereafter, there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax liability of a resident individual imposed under the Kansas income tax act an amount equal to $1,500 for the taxable year in which occurs the lawful adoption of a child in the custody of the secretary for children and families or a child with special needs, whether or not such individual is reimbursed for all or part of qualified adoption expenses or has received a public or private grant therefor. As used in this subsection, terms and phrases shall have the meanings ascribed thereto by the provisions of section 23 of the federal internal revenue code.

(c) The credit allowed by subsections (a) and (b) shall not exceed the amount of the tax imposed by K.S.A. 79-32,110, and amendments thereto, reduced by the sum of any other credits allowable pursuant to law. If the amount of such tax credit exceeds the taxpayer's income tax liability for such taxable year, the amount thereof that exceeds such tax liability may be carried over for deduction from the taxpayer's income tax liability in the next succeeding taxable year or years until the total amount of the tax credits has been deducted from tax liability.
