Entering zero on Schedule 8812 did not help most people. It did not fix my error. SO, on my disk version of TurboTax I went back the Forms and on my Information Worksheet, Part IV, Earned Income Credit Information checked the last box. In part, it reads ". . . or, if you are ineligible to claim the EIC for any other reason.
I checked that box and Voila! 8812 simply disappeared from my return! No more error and no errant refundable credit that could have stimulated an audit!
I think TurboTax has a software question/answer glitch. AND, not everyone chooses to take EIC because they don't need it,.
