Form 4747 Box 7 Will Not Check

I have entered my dependents birthdate, entered that they lived with me for the entire year (correct for a child born during 2025) and entered their SSN. All of this shows as correct under Personal Info and form 4547 reflects correct content in Part II (lines 1-6). Yet, the form does not check box 7 nor does it let me manually check/change the settings in that box. Grr.

Oof, disregard - resolved. I had to go into the "Dependent Worksheet" and make a bunch of manual selections to make it work.

D- to the good people at Turbotax who thought they got this implementation correct, what a confusing pain and if in the end one has to be intuitive/adept in enough in reviewing the forms manually, recognizing errors and finding ways to override...then what exactly is the "value" Turbotax is providing me here. Poorly done guys.
