Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen. Click on Add a dependent. When asked if this your child or other person, choose Other Person and the select Grandchild.

IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:

To claim a grandchild as your dependent

When you enter the child’s name in My 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

If your dependent was a full-time college student, make sure you were careful on the MY INFO screen for “Uncommon situations” and that you indicated there that they were a student.
