If you otherwise qualify, your 2 siblings who are 9 and 10 may qualify as Qualifying Children for the $2,000 Child Tax Credit and your mom and 28 year old sister would possibly Qualify as a Qualifying Relatives for the $500 Other Dependent Credit if you have enough tax liability as this is a nonrefundable credit.

- Your parent or grandparents, including step parents and in laws
- Any other person that lived with you for the entire tax year
- Not a qualifying child of another taxpayer
- Someone that you provided over half of their support for during the tax year
The following criteria must be met to claim someone as a qualifying child:
- Your child (including adopted and foster children), your sibling, or a descendent of any of them.
- Age 18 or younger at the end of the tax year OR under 24 (and younger than you and your spouse) if they are a full-time student
- Lived with you for more than 6 months during the tax year
- They did not provide more than half of their own support (social security does not count)
