Did you say in MY INFO that your dependent was a student in 2024?   If you missed doing that, click his name in MY INFO and go through the screens again.

I went to edit dependents info but it doesn't ask about student,  only of income less than $5k. They are both full time college students ages 21 and 23.

@lmonty01 When entering the dependent for the first time you will land on a screen Less common situations

On that screen you needed to check Was a full-time student in 2024

Delete the dependent and re-enter -
