Where do I put that my dependent is a full time student?

Where can I add that for tax breaks?

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.
