Deductions & credits

Instead of relying on a very old thread that is only "similar" to your issue----please explain your situation so we can reply and give you correct information.  For example, the original poster to this old question was flying Grandma from somewhere, and Grandma was not a U.S. citizen.  We do not know if Grandma has an ITIN, or where she is flying from.  We do not know if Grandma is taking care of the grandchild in the OP's home.   

 

If you have a grandparent caring for your child, it matters whether the care is happening in your own home or Grandma's home.   And it matters whether you are trying to claim Grandma as your dependent.
