Why is TurboTax asking me for Schedule 8812: AdvPaymentQualChildrenTP even though I don't have any dependants? Should I just enter 0?

Yes, just enter zero.

 

Everyone will have to answer two questions in the Deductions & Credit section in regards to the  Child Tax Credit form 8812 even if you did not enter any dependents in the Personal Info section. 

 

To confirm you did not receive any advance payments:

  1. In the Federal section of your return, go to Deductions & Credits
  2. Scroll down to You and Your Family and click Revisit/Start next to Advance payments, Child and Other Dependent Tax Credits
  3. Click Continue
  4. Answer Let's start with where you spent the most time in 2021.
  5. Answer No to Did you receive any advance Child Tax Credit payments in 2021?
