@lameri Not sure what you think the difference is between a qualifying child and a dependent. Please re-read the criteria for claiming a dependent that was provided to you earlier. There are two types of dependents---qualifying child and qualifying relative. There is a difference between a "qualifying child" and a "qualifying relative"----but they are both types of dependents. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to file as Head of Household? If so, you must have a qualified dependent----a blood-related relative for whom you provide at least half of their support. That qualified dependent can be a qualifying child or a qualifying relative.
