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.

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

Delete the dependent and re-enter -
