Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Try going back through the questionnaire in the Personal Info section. Make sure you have the dependent's date of birth entered correctly. It also asks how much of the year the dependent lived with you and that if they were just away in college, to enter "the whole year". If they are under age 24, a full-time student, they lived with you except when away at college, and you provided over half of their support, they qualify as your dependent.
