@dgoble1965 Since you have not told us how or if the child you are taking care of is related to you, please post back with that information. If in fact the child is related to you, then you may be able to claim the child as a dependent. And in the event that someone else tries to claim that same child, we can tell you what to do. Please clarify what your relationship is to the child.
