qualifying child. To qualify, a child must be under age 17, be a citizen =
or resident of the United States, be claimed as the taxpayer=92s =
dependent, and be the taxpayer=92s (a) child, stepchild, adopted child, =
or a descendant of any of them; (b) sibling, stepsibling, or a =
descendant of any of them, whom the taxpayer cared for as his or her own =
child, or (c) eligible foster child.
