Full-time student status

Turbo Tax asks if I was a full-time student and says this means being enrolled full-time at a school for at least five months during 2020. I started attending school full-time in late August 2020 and continued attending full-time during September, October, November and December 2020. Should I indicate that I was a full-time student?

Yes.  Parts of five months counts.  So, using an extreme example, you were enrolled Aug 31 to Dec 1.  You meet the 5 month rule. The 5 months do not have to be consecutive.
