Deductions & credits

When asked about the child tax credit, if you do not have children simply enter a 0 for the amount received and the program will proceed without issue. 

And yes, if you delete the form and later need to add it, it will be added for you automatically once you enter the data that generates it. 

 

The program needs to ask all taxpayers the question even when dependents are not listed to ensure there is not a delay in processing the returns due to incomplete information for a large number of taxpayers who received advanced payments but will not be claiming their children this year.
