Do I elect the option to file as a student on my taxes? Or not? Please help.
I was a college student from 01/01/2021 to 05/13/2021 (graduation). I then got a job in June of 2021. It is my first salaried job that I have ever had to file taxes for.
TurboTax is asking me if I am or was a full-time student in 2021. Technically yes, but I did not file my own taxes as a student or pay my own tuition (my parents paid it through a 529). Do I still say I was a student? Or do I select the "no" option for being a student because I do not have a 1098-T nor did I pay my own tuition for this tax year?
I also have money from my current salaried job going into a retirement fund but I can't reflect that on my returns as a student... So I don't know what to put.
