Why do i have to fill out the K-12 Education Expense Credit Worksheet if I did have any educational expenses

[deedeelim5]

I filled out my taxes with your program, I do not have anyone in my house that went to school, but when I go to print out my tax returns on the state tax area it fills out a section B K-12 educational expenses line 7B with the following:

b  You may not take a credit for the first $250 paid.     7b      250.00
It also prints out a last page for K-12 Educational Expense Credit Worksheet. 

Why?
What do I do with it?
Do I send all these forms with it without filling out the worksheet, leave it blank.

Please help

You don't need to send the worksheet at all, so don't fill it out. It's ok that your Illinois Form ICR shows that $250, because that shows up for everyone whether they claim a credit or not. And you don't need to send the Form ICR unless you are claiming the Property Tax Credit.

If you are e-filing, you don't have to send anything.

If you are mailing your return, mail your Form IL 1040 and your  Form ICR (if you're claiming a credit) and your W-2s and any other tax form that shows state withholding.
