Question

My 2 grandchildren lived with me 8 months and my daughter refuses to let me claim them. I find this so unfair. She even got illinois link for them and sold them.

Click this link for details on Claiming a Dependent.  If your daughter had Earned Income, the parent always has the first right to claim their children. 

 

If you believe you can claim your grandchildren, you can paper-file your return with them as your Dependents.

 

The IRS will contact you both for documentation for who should get the dependent benefits, and one will have to repay what they received.
