I had no problem reproducing the problem and the solution. My success rate is 100%.
It is clearly a bug in the program.
Follow the “wizard “ / instructions and enter that you have zero dependents. It will allow you to proceed to the next item of entry.
When you finally get to the check your return portion - it will state that you need to correct schedule 8812. Which does not apply for those with no dependents/children.
To correct - go back and fill out the family dependent section even though nothing applies- just be sure to have entries. Doing so eliminates the error at the check later on.
