Deductions & credits

Yes, you enter zero on Schedule 8812. The Economic Impact Payment is not an advance Child Tax Credit payment. They're two different things. Schedule 8812 is for the Child Tax Credit, not the Economic Impact Payment. You did not receive any advance Child Tax Credit payments, so you enter zero for that. TurboTax will ask you separately about the Economic Impact Payment you received. You enter the $2,800 there. That does not go on Schedule 8812.
