You can claim your grandchild so long as:
- Your grandchild must have a Social Security Number which must be on your tax return;
- The grandchild lives with you for at least half of the year;
- Your grandchild is younger than 19, or is a full-time student under 24;
- Your grandchild does not claim a personal exemption for him/herself on her/his own tax return (if any).

- In the circumstance where your grandchild is old enough to be married (maybe unlikely here), the grandchild cannot file a joint return.
