Enter your social security numbers. If you are in personal information it should be yourself and your spouse. Your tax return will not ask for your grandson's parents social security numbers (SSNs).
You can claim a child, relative, friend, fiancé(e), and so on as a dependent on your 2023 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements:
Qualifying child:
- They're related to you.
- They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
- They're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
- They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
- They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- There's no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
- They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
- They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.
- Also see Qualifying Relative if your grandson is older
This may not apply but wanted to give you information about Tie-Breaker Rules as well.
