Re: My tax review said “check this entry: schedule 8812: advance payments received must be entered” I didn’t file schedule 8812. Nor do I need it. What should I do?

My tax review said “check this entry: schedule 8812: advance payments received must be entered” I didn’t file schedule 8812. Nor do I need it. What should I do?

I used standard deductions, have no dependents and have never seen this.

Everyone is being asked this question since TurboTax does not know if the user was one who received these advances from the IRS in 2021.

Enter a 0 (zero) when asked to enter a number on the Schedule 8812. This will correct the issue and remove the Schedule 8812 from your tax return so that you can file the return.
