When you are in MY INFO entering information for your student, watch for the screen that is titled "Less Common Situations" and make sure to say he was a full-time student.

If your child's birthdate indicates that he/she is under 19, you will not get the FT student question in personal info.* Later, in the educational expenses section, you will indicated her student status.

*In the personal information section, age and full time student status are used to determine dependency.

Thank you for this reply / post! I was wondering why the child was not showing as a FT student and I could not find the info anywhere on TurboTax help. I also work on the desktop version and most answers provided by Turbotax apply to the web version and thought it had to to with that.
