Only the Foster parent can claim a foster child as a dependent on their tax return.

If I am claiming my parent as well do I still only claim the foster child as a dependent or are they classified as my sibling? It says a foster child is treated as a biological child but does that also mean for siblings?

The child is not your foster child so you cannot claim them as a dependent.
