Used to be able to just enter "child." Now that the clerical work is left to professionals, IRS can ask for more, at least on e-filed returns. The only choice for the next generation is "grandchild." They don't even care if it's maternal or paternal.
Are you sure the child didn't file a return claiming not to be a dependent, and that's what caused the problem?
