Kiddie tax

I'm doing separate returns for my 18, 20, and 22 yr olds each with investment income of a few grand.

They are all students in college at least part time during 2023 and I'm claiming them all as dependents.

The 20yr old's return won't let me enter the kiddie tax form 8813, but the others do. I don't understand why they are being treated differently.

Similarly, the 22 yr old is getting an education credit while the other two are not.  They are going to college with no loans and the 22yr old has a $2 scholorship listed on her 1098-T.  I don't know why...but is that why she's getting the credit and the others aren't?
