Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are correct.  And the qualifying child does NOT need to be a dependent, which she is not.  When they are not a dependent you list their name on the return.  I did not have a dependent in 2020 or 2021 but I had a qualifying child for both years.  Turbotax recognized that in 2020 but will not for 2021.  It does not make any common sense.
