It is not an error.
In 2021, the IRS sent out "Advance Child Tax Credit Payments".
Some people who received the payments might not claim dependents on their 2021 tax returns.
Rather than a taxpayer "forgetting" to report their payments, perhaps facing penalties, and complaining that "TurboTax never asked" TurboTax asks EVERYONE about Form 8812 and the Child Tax Credit.
Although you will see a copy of Form 8812 in your list of Forms, if it is not relevant to your return it will not be generated and not included with your transmitted return.
This was an unique situation for tax year 2021 and should not continue unless Advance Payments are again issued.
