Question

Student Information Worksheet not letting me select “no” when asking if I was a full time student last year

I have already selected that I was not a full time student in 2021, but when I entered my 1098-e for a break on my student loan interest, it made me fill out the student information worksheet. The boxes for the question “were you a full time student in 2021” are locked and I can’t select “no”. Why is this happening?

Are you being claimed as a dependent?

Review the personal info section. You may have indicated there that you were FT student.

I'm not sure it matters if you're only claiming student loan interest deduction. You can't claim that deduction if you can be claimed as a dependent. Being able to be claimed as a dependent often hinges on being a full time student.
