When I walk through the CTC section in Turbo Tax for doing an amended return, it does not ask any of those questions you mention. The only questions are the following:
- Did you receive any advance Child Tax Credit payments? - Answered NO
- Was your main home located in the US for 6 or more months during 2021? - Answered YES
- Let's check for uncommon situations - Of which I selected None apply.
If those questions were mentioned when I originally filed, I can't imagine not answering them correctly. Is there anyway for me to know?
The one thing I do know is that the section for Schedule 8812 (Form 1040) "Credits for Qualifying Children and Other Dependents" lists "0" (zero) on line 4a
- "Number of qualifying children under age 18 with required ss#"
And zero for line 4b
- "Number of children included on line 4a who were under age 6 at end of 2021"
This is incorrect, line 4a should have been "1". However, TurboTax fills this in behind the scenes so there's no way for me to know why it did that. At least, best I can tell.
