State tax filing

You are highlighting the word Education as an exception for a child to be absent from home for more than 6 months; correct?  In other words, the clarification of "If your child is a full-time student living away from home, the days he is at school count as though he is living at home." while away at school they are absent from home which is an exception for education purposes and should/can be counted as living at home?

 

Our scenario goes like so, daughter away at college came home for summer and holiday break which is less than 6 months at home.  If I select 6 months or less turbo tax declares her a non-dependent, but if I select 7 months turbo tax declares her a dependent.
