I have an amount listed in my W2 statement under Box 12 coded “adoption assistance”. I do not have an adopted child nor did I ask for any type of assistance. The tax software wont let me submit until I “fix the error” where it’s asking for a child’s name. I don’t have an adopted child. Is it a mistake on W2, can I over ride it on the tax software? What do I do? Can’t file.
