Nice try but no that is not asked BEFORE the income question, only after (and in 2 places if you say No to the $5050 question). It is asked after you say NO to the $5050 question, that again should not be there.
The first screen of questions after you confirm the relationship is "My child" and provide all the child's info:
ThisChild is my:
Son
Daughter
Did ThisChild live with you for the whole year?
Yes
no
Was all that time in the U.S.?
Yes
No
Who are ThisChild's legal parents?
Me and Her
Me
Her
And tada! Next question is:
Was ThisChild's gross income $5,050.00 or more in 2024?
Yes
No
IF I select No here, THEN the question appears:
Did you or Her pay for more than half of ThisChild's living expenses in 2024?
Yes
No
And If I say Yes there and continue, it then lists the "Less common situations for ThisChild" and I check the box for "Was a full-time student in 2024". The last question there is "Paid for more than half of their living expenses and other support" and I do NOT check that. Click continue and I'm told "Not a dependent this year"
Wrong in TurboTax. I'm waiting until EOM to actually start on the taxes and will see if they fix this, but I do not have a good feeling about TurboTax and their lack of support on bugs/mistakes in their application.
