Are you asking, "Who can claim your child as a dependent, you or your mother?" 

 

See Who can I claim as my dependent?  and How do I add or remove a dependent?

 

When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.
