Taxpayers have no adoption expenses. Adoption for special needs child finalized in 2021. I know they can claim the max credit for 2021 and they have tax liability. Can they choose to not claim the credit until 2022? Outstanding debt with IRS so refund will be applied to old debt.

No, you can't pick-and-choose when to claim the credit.
