Lines 1, 3 and 9 are filled in by the program and cannot be changed unless you override and you do not want to override as that will prevent you from e-filing.

All you need to do is enter a 0 on Line B1 in the Principal Place of Abode and Letter 6419 Information Smart Worksheet on the Schedule 8812.

Everyone is being asked this question since TurboTax does not know if the user was one who received these advances from the IRS in 2021.

Enter a 0 (zero) when asked to enter a number on the Schedule 8812. This will correct the issue and remove the Schedule 8812 from your tax return so that you can file the return.

Since you do not have dependents and did not receive any advance child tax credits in 2021, the Schedule 8812 will not be included in the 2021 tax return that is filed.

I can not enter 0 in Line 1,3 and 9. I can also not enter zero to any question that I believe I should answer. The is a ! next to this form in the Forms in My Return. There is a Delete Form at the bottom of the page. Can I use that?
