Deductions & credits

Hi, that is correct, when I answer those questions to say she can be claimed as a dependent but that she will not be claimed as a dependent, it says she is not eligible for the credit.  If I change the questions to say she can't be claimed as a dependent and that she supported herself more than half the time, it gives her the credit.  She had minimal earned income so her tax liability is 0 and she only gets 1,000 of the AOTC.  Seems like maybe an issue with the software??
