How can I claim my girlfriend's, my dependent, 1098-T? TurboTax seems to think it's mine but it's not. Help.

If I do it the first time around , it assumes "I" am the student. If I go back, I'm given the choice to ADD STUDENT but it doesn't allow me to select my girlfriend. It just starts the whole thing again. I've logged out and in again. I've even started a new account to try it again and the same happens.
