If I am the legal guardian of my kid's sibling (he is not my child) do I get Dependent tax credit?

It depends.  Your child's sibling must be placed with your by an authorized agency or they may be a qualifying relative.  The following information will help you figure out if you can claim this person as a dependent.

Check both the qualifying child and qualifying relative rules to see if you qualify.
