Get your taxes done using TurboTax

This had me stressed out also as my daughter got unemployment this year and was a student. I did file her own taxes as a dependent and she paid her tax on her unmployment, I didnt claim the education credit though i got confused when it asked if I had claimed it 4 times in my life, yes I HAVE as MYSELF as a student, but she has never claimed it. So i didnt get the credit and when i filed her taxes she was unable to get it because I claimed her. I am worried about 2021 as the same sensario she was a student and on indemployment, but you say I can claim her as long as I file her seperstely as a claimed dependent correct?
