@NCperson Thank you for your help and very quick reply. If I go to Schedule 8812 in Turbo Tax (if that’s where you were asking me to check those lines)
Line 28 a) Enter the amount from line 14f or line 15e, which applies: 1,400
B) Enter the amount from line 14e or line 15d, whichever applies: 0
Line 30: Enter the number of qualifying children …. : 0
… to answer your 3rd question, I assume based on the above, that yes, a Scheduler 8812 was filed via TurboTax but I have no idea how or why. In the section after line 12, Principal Place of Abode and Letter 6419
A1 is marked as No in blue
A2 is marked as No in Blue
B1 “Advance child tax credit payments from from Letter 6419 - taxpayer” shows 1,400 in blue.
… I’m not exactly sure where to look on irs for more info, but when I click tax records, it shows this:
"2021 Advance Child Tax Credit Payments Information
Use the amounts on this page to reconcile the advance payments of the Child Tax Credit on your 2021 tax return.
If you file as Married Filing Jointly, each spouse should see their own amount within their own account. All amounts must be considered if filing jointly.
- Total Amount You Received for 2021 Payments (Box 1)
- (If filing jointly, your spouse’s amount must also be added to your amount.)
$0.00
Number of Qualifying Children for 2021 Payments (Box 2)
0
If the amount on this page is $0.00, you may have unenrolled from or were ineligible for the advance Child Tax Credit payments. Reconciliation may still be required when filing your 2021 tax return."
Thank you in advance
