Deductions & credits

My daughter was a student and dependent last year (filed by Turbotax as an independent return for a refund) and is filing not as a dependent this year 2020. The program keeps saying she is entitled to the first two credits when she is not as dependents were not eligible, but when I override this and put zero the program will not let me file.


Since she is not a dependent on a 2020 federal tax return she is entitled to the Recovery Rebate Credit as it only uses the 2020 federal tax return for eligibility.
