"A qualifying child would be:
Your child (including legally adopted), stepchild, foster child, sibling, half-sibling, step-sibling, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild or niece) AND
Permanently and totally disabled OR under the age of 19 as of December 31, 2018 (under 24 if a full-time student) and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly) AND
Lived with you for more than half the year AND
Single (or if the child is married, you'd have to qualify to claim them as a dependent even if you're not going to claim them as such)."
So ... my grandson AND under the age of 19 AND lived with me for more than half the year AND single. (Not married, so I don't have to qualify to claim him as a dependent.) What am I missing?
