I verified that I entered this correctly in Turbotax under the "Personal Information." Not sure it makes a difference but obviously would like it to be accurate.

On Form 1040-SR, the checkbox near the dependents section (line 6d area) is only marked if you‌ have qualifying dependents listed, not just based on filing status or living separately. So if no dependents were entered, TurboTax is correctly leaving that unchecked
