My wife and I have sole physical custody and legal custody of our granddaughter. How do I claim her?

Dependents are claimed in MY INFO.

 

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
