Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Schedule 8812 is for the Child Tax Credit. 

TurboTax asks about your Advanced Child Tax Credits as well as your stimulus payments. They are not the same things. 

 

If you entered that you received 1,200 advanced child tax credit, the IRS may be asking for repayment. Stimulus payments 

If you never received advanced payments, you should have answered NO to that question.  

 

Please look over your 1040 and Schedule 8812 to see if you reported getting payments or if you received a credit. 

Look at your IRS online account to see what they have on record.
