In the section: Let's start with some info about your child it asks if my child was a full time student in 2021. Does being homeschooled count as being full time student?

My child completed school (senior year) in June of 2021. He was homeschooled but in our state we have to submit paperwork such as quarterly reports and end of year testing/evaluation to the school district.

Yes, he was a full time student in 2021.

However, the question is only asked if the dependent is age 19 or older.  If the child is under the age of 19 in 20121 check on the date of birth you entered.

Thank you for answering. He did turn 19 in late 2021.  This explains why I never saw this question asked before.
