You have not provided any other information about your grandchild, so we cannot be sure if you can claim the child. You have not mentioned whether the child's parent(s) lives with you or how long your grandchild has lived with you.

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
