No, the answer isn't incorrect and you did not miss anything. Your daughter qualifies as a dependent based on the information you provided. Usually, the reason for this issue is something omitted in the interview about the dependent.
Revisit the entry in the "My Info, Your household" section. Make sure all the interview screens have been completed accurately:
- Navigate to My Info, Your household, select your daughter and revisit.
- Choose "My child", continue and be sure her name, date of birth and proper citizenship is complete.
- Continue, and answer the question about living arrangements and parents.
- Continue, and answer any less common situations. Here, make sure "was a full-time student in 2025" is checked.
- Lastly, enter the child's SSN and be sure that "Not valid for employment is printed..." is NOT checked.
