Child credit for great grandchild
I have a client who has guardianship of his daughter's, adoptive daughter's child. So essentially his great granddaughter. The great grandchild has lived with him and his wife since April 2021 when guardianship was granted by the courts. I am entering in the dependents section and entered grandparent as relationship. I am thinking that applies to great grandchild?
And when I do that, ProSeries then says they have to be counted as other dependent (O)as the code in the dependent section of the federal information worksheet. I entered 8 months as the amount of time lived with taxpayer in US. And that makes them ineligible for the child tax credit. I am confused, I thought they would get the $3600 child credit. What am I missing or what am I entering wrong. The grandchild lived with them for more than half of the year and they provided more than 1/2 of the support.
Any help would be appreciated!
