You are looking at an old thread. Although the information regarding the election is still the same, Form 8812 will not be deleted from your return. You will still not receive the credit. The form will simply be reporting that you did or did not receive the Advanced Child Tax Credit. For 2021, Form 8812 (Child Tax Credit) will not be deleted as everyone has to answer questions for the Advanced Child Tax Credit, and thus the form is generated with everyone's return.
