I am looking after a granddaughter in my home under a Residence Order from the court. She spends a night or two each week with her parents. I pay for all her food while she is with me, home clothes, pocket money, school uniform etc. her Mum recently transferred her Child Allowance over to me which helps but I am spending a great deal more than that. Its a financial burden, much as I love her, which I would otherwise not have taken on. The parents cannot afford to contribute more. Can I claim her as a dependent for tax purposes. Would like to hear from grands in similar position.
