My daughter, who lived in California for the past 3+ yrs, claimed my granddaughter. I've been the guardian of my granddaughter during this time. I tried to e-file my 2020 tax returns but was denied due to her claiming her. Followed the instructions and mailed a paper return. It's been since April and I haven't heard from the irs. I got my refund but now what? Never received any stimulus for her either. She's 5 if it makes a difference.

If there is a dispute over who is entitled to claim a dependent, the IRS has a process for resolving the dispute. Even in normal times, that takes a long time, and we're still not in normal times. Until the dispute is resolved, the IRS isn't going to pay you stimulus or advance child tax credit.

Ok. So just a waiting game. Thank you.
