When program asks if your child is a student is that referencing University student or does Elementary student count?

It is asking you about if your child is a student in College or University (Post secondary) to give credits and deduction against your educational expenses. Students can also allow to transfer these credits to their parents. For further information, please see our TurboTax article: Taxes When You Have a Child in College.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
