Child Tax Credit Zero Line 18 Incorrect

Hello,   My child tax credit is zero in line 19 in turbotax. (I read in another post that is because I had no earned income)  However, when I do Child Tax Credit form 972 myself I get 6000.  I have three kids who all qualify.   I have no earned income however I believe I qualify for the additional child tax credit form 8812 under part II certain files who have three or more qualifying children.   Form 8812 was not generated for me via turbotax.    I believe I can amend the tax return, manually enter 6000 (for three kids) on line 19 and file out the additional child tax credit to get the refundable 4200.   Has anyone had this situation where they had no earned income and still qualified for additional child tax credit?   Thanks very much!!!
