In the personal info section, check the box that says you can't be claimed as a dependent.
When TurboTax sees that you are a FT student, under 24, it will add an earned income support question to the interview. The earned income support question is part of the personal info interview, not the education interview.
A full time unmarried student, under age 24, even if you don't qualify as a dependent, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans & grants. It is usually best if the parent claims that credit.
You cannot claim a credit if you are, or can be, claimed as a dependent by someone else.
