Are you sure it is the Form 8812 that keeps reappearing or is it possible, it is Form 2441 - Dependent Care Credit? If you are taking the Dependent Care Credit, do not delete it, but if you started that section erroneously and attempt to delete the form, it will return if the section if half completed.
Dawn, the same error happened to me last night. I claim no dependents and have no other related forms. However, Turbotax Desktop created a schedule 8812 and populated it with my income and other information and calculated a zero benefit, but it still insisted on asking me the question during the error check. I suspect that this is such an important issue, and because there will be some people who got the advance payments but don't claim a dependent this year, that the program must ask everyone.
