Turbo Tax 2024 says 21 year old student daughter not dependent due to income

I just started my 2024 taxes and Turbo Tax is saying my college student daughter cannot be my dependent because she made more than $5050 in 2024. The IRS web site says there is no income limit for qualifying child as long as I paid for more than half of their support. How can I make Turbo Tax list my daughter as a dependent?

Turbo Tax 2024 says 21 year old student daughter not dependent due to income

You can claim your daughter as a dependent if she didn't provide more than half of her own support for the year and she was under 19 at the end of 2024 (or under 24 and a full-time student).

 

If she is 19 or older (or 24 or older and a full-time student), you can't claim her as a dependent if she earned more than $5,050 in 2024.

 

If she is under 24, revisit the My Info section and edit her personal details to verify her birth date and to indicate that she's a full-time student.
