This is an old thread, but it didn't include a solution and it's a problem I just faced myself, so I wanted to include what ultimately worked in case anyone else is still experiencing this issue (and as a reminder for myself as I faced this issue last year too, but still couldn't immediately figure it out this year).
What to do:
1. You need to fully delete the State return and start again. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to just edit things once you've triggered this loop in the process that is requiring you to submit an ELC for a facility.
2. When it gets to the page asking about the Keep Child Care Affordable Tax Credit, do not click the 'edit' button next to your child's name, which has likely been pre-populated. Just click continue.
That's all! That should resolve it and there should not be any errors when you get to the state return review page. But if you ever click the 'edit' button on the Keep Child Care Affordable Tax Credit page, it will take you through the loop requiring information about the facility, even if you say you didn't have any expenses. Definitely seems like it's a bug that should have been resolved by now (7 years after this post was created), but unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.
