My granddaughter that lives with me is a full time student and that box is not checked on my returned

[MindyB · Accepted solution]

You can change this if you have not yet filed (if you have filed, you can file an amended return to make the update). Here's how to do this in TurboTax Online:

1. Navigate to My Info on the left of your screen, Your household, select your granddaughter's name to expand, then choose "Revisit". 
2. Continue through the interview until you  to the screen called "Tell us more about [granddaughter's name]'s situation." Here, check the first box, Full-time student in 2025.

I did what your message said to do but when I revisit it it still doesn’t say anything about being a full time student.

 Go back to My Info and click on the dependent.  Click on Revisit.

If your granddaughter is age 19 or older, then on the screen labeled Tell us more about (Her Name) situation 

check the box labeled Full-time student in 2025 and Continue.

When you add your granddaughter as a dependent in TurboTax Online, you will choose the option Another Person for her relationship to you. 

After filling out information about her, you will use the dropdown menu to select Grandchild and answer Yes to Did she live with you for the whole year? Answer the other questions on that screen and select Continue.

On the following screen with the title Tell Us More about (her) Situation you will see a checkbox for Full-time student in 2025.
