Retirement tax questions

@Roger_521 Some information that you might find helpful-----you do not mention how long your grandchildren have lived with you or why they are with you.   In some cases, if you are on SSDI, you can get benefits to help with your dependent grandchildren.   I do not know how it all works, but it could certainly be worth your time to make an appointment at a SS office to see if you can get some help from Social Security to increase the benefits that are coming to your household.
