No, if either or both of you indicate in the software system that you do, in fact, have in your possession a signed 8332 then it will "think" to look for one. If you checked the box that you do not have one, then they system (and therefore the IRS automated system) will not "think" to look for one. That is most likely why you have had no issues in past with the processing of your return - if you never indicated that you had this form.
