Education

I'm still not clear on this.  My son obviously does not live at home, and the stipend is sufficient to cover most of his living expenses.  If I indicate he only lives at home 4-5 months, and that I do not provide more than 1/2 of his support, turbo tax indicates he cannot be claimed as a dependent.  I do provide his healthcare benefits.   Still he is a full time student and my child who does not live with me, but I will provide any other support needed... Does that not make him my dependent?  Just trying to understand how to correctly answer the turbotax questions.
