Colorado Earned Income Tax Credit

I am 19 years old college student, my parents claim me as a dependent.  I am doing my 2024 Colorado state tax return on Turbotax.  There are several choices under Colorado Earned Income Tax Credit for me to choose.  Should I mark "Not a Special Student"  or "None of the above"?

Colorado Earned Income Tax Credit

The Colorado Earned Income Tax Credit screen has various options:

 

  • Specified Student select this if all this applies:
    • You were age 24 at the end of the tax year
    • You were enrolled in a program that leads to a degree, certificate, or other recognized educational credential; and
    • You carried at least one-half the normal workload for your course of study during at least 5 calendar months of the year or an academic period, if longer. Count any month during which you were enrolled for at least part of the month, including non-consecutive months.
  • Not a Specified Student
    • You were age 19-24 at the end of the tax year; and
    • You were not a specified student.
  • A Qualified Homeless Youth
  • A Qualified Former Foster Youth
  • None of the above

Select the option that best fits your situation on your return.
