Permanentresident of TX butcollege in AR and made money here. on the "check entry" in federal review it says part time resident TX but wont let me change it to full time

it says "prior state should not be same of residence as of dec. 31, but I was in TX for several years. It wont let me unmark the "this person is resident of state for only part of year" bc I was a resident of TX for the whole year of 2022

If your permanent residence is in Texas, and you are going to school in Arkansas, you are still considered to be a Full-time resident of Texas and a Non-resident of Arkansas. 
In the My Info section, at the beginning of the return, please select your Texas address for Dec 31, 2022 and mark NO to living in another state, because you were at school. 

In a few screens, it will ask Did you make money in any other states? and you can answer Yes. This will set up TurboTax to enter your income from Arkansas.
