Where do I find my schedule 8812 form?

On my tax return it just says "Attach Schedule 8812''

Schedule 8812 is to apply for an additional child tax credit for a child that you support. That form will be included automatically when you complete your tax return. Where are you seeing that message, on your TurboTax screen or on a form or statement that you printed out?

I did not see an answer, and I am looking for Schedule 8812 as well.  I need to see the values entered on this form that were used to enter the value in line 28 of the 1040.  I was nearly ready to file my return, and realized I was not using the correct Intuit account.  So I switched and started over.  However, the numbers differ using the two different IDs and I need to understand why.

You can print your return before you proceed to e-file your tax return.  Use the information in the link below to print your return so that you can review your Form 8812.

 

The Form 8812 is calculating your refundable portion of the child tax credit (CTC) and it reconciles the advance child tax credit (ACTC) payments you may have received so that you get all that you are entitled to.

Everyone has to answer whether they received advance child tax credit payments.   If you did not receive any of those payments between July and December you need to answer that you did not receive any payments.

 

There are so many scenarios with those payments---like divorced/never married parents who have issues over who received the payments, who claimed the children, etc. --- the software has no way of knowing if any of that involves you---so you have to answer the questions about it. 

 

Please follow these steps to indicate you did not receive any advanced payments:

  1. Click on the "Search" on the top and type "Child tax credit"
  2. Click on “Jump to Child Tax Credit”
  3. Continue through the questions until the "Tell us about any advance Child Tax Credit payments" screen and select "No".
  4. Continue through the questions.
