Residence Test for dependents - TT Premier

I remember in previous years when I claim my son as dependent, and I file as Head of Household, Turbo Tax would prompt me to answer something like "how many days did he stay with you last year?"

However, I don't have that prompt this year, and I couldn't find it anywhere on TT Premier. Is it because my son is over 18 now? or is that feature is no longer there?

The residence question and the student question should have been presented.  It would be best to delete him as a dependent in the Personal Info section and then re-enter.  Make sure that you have his correct date of birth entered.

These are the residence and student screens you should see for a 19 year old dependent -

If your son is 19 or older is he a full time student?  If not, does he have gross income in 2022 of $4,400 or more?

He's a full time college student, and his gross income is less than $4400.
