Deductions & credits
If the Adopted Child Credit Worksheet (Form 8839) is showing up in your errors on review and you don't have any adopted kids, here's a possible fix for this issue if you're using Turbotax Desktop 2022;
Go to Personal (on gray top navigation bar); Go to Deductions & Credits;
How do you want....?
----> "I'll choose what I work on."
Scroll down to You and your Family
---> Visit All
Money Savings Credits Related To Your Family;
See if you qualify? ---> Yes
Did you pay for Child/Dependent care....2022?
----> No
You don't qualify for this.
---> Done
Looks like we're missing some info. You should see a needs review message above an "Untitled" Dependent;
Click on the garbage can to delete this phantom child.
Are you sure you want to delete this adoptive child?
---> Yes
You should now see: "You currently don't have any adopted child info."
Next screen:
Let us know if you have an adoption credit carryforward from prior years.
Leave this blank and ----> Continue;
It turns out you don't qualify for this credit.
----> Done
Go to Review. The worksheet should be gone.
