I can delete the form, but when I run smart check the program puts it back and requires an answer. One question I found says that it will show up when one child has an ITIN. This is a joint return with no dependents, although the spouse has an ITIN. Is the program reacting to this in error?
You should be filing a Joint tax return with your spouse and DO NOT enter them as a dependent. If you have not entered anyone as a dependent on your tax return and the program still asks about the schedule 8812 you should clear and start over.
If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2021 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.
