Deductions & credits

You don't fill out the child tax credit form (form 8812). TurboTax (TT) automatically fills it out for you. All you do is enter the child-dependent's information in the personal information section and your W-2 for income. 

 

If for some reason, you don't get the Child tax credit, you can have TT redo it. 

In TurboTax (TT), enter at:

Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version)
