So sorry for your family troubles. You can get the full child tax credit since you have had your grandchild for 2021. Those monthly payments issued from July to December were truly "advance" payments based on claiming a child on a 2021 tax return. Depending on her AGI, your daughter might or might not have to pay back the monthly amount she received. But that is not a problem for you. She has to file a return and enter the amount she received.
YOU can get the full amount. It will show up on line 28 of your Form 1040. And you can also get the $1400 stimulus amount---which will show on line 30.
Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.
To claim a grandchild as your dependent
When you enter the child’s name in Personal Info, you will be asked “What’s your relationship to [child’s name]?”
Choose “another person”
a drop down menu will appear that lets you choose grandchild
