Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, you haven't made an error. This situation is happening because of the Advanced Child Tax Credit payments that were issued to some taxpayers in 2021.

 

Even if you don't have a child on your tax return, you have to answer the question about the amount you received. If you received payments and did not have a child to claim in 2021, you have to pay the amount back.

 

If you did not receive payments, enter $0.
