Enter a 0 (zero) in any field flagged as an error on the Schedule 8812. The should correct the problem and allow you to file.

You can enter 0 in Schedule 8812. Every one filing a tax return this year will have to complete the CTC section of the program even if they are not claiming any dependents on the 2021 return.

Hello,

First year using Turbotax, wish me luck haha. Question, I received my consolidated 1099 from a brokerage account that is with a company that can be imported via Turbotax. Great. My question is if I import this data NOW and then subsequently receive an amended 1099 which happens sometimes, do I simply import the amended 1099 and Turbotax will "overwrite" the old data with the new data where there is a change and keep the other data "as is" etc or do I would I need to delete the "old" import and then import the amended 1099 etc. ? Want to know before I import the current 1099. Thanks.

@cpulc21 To ensure a 'clean" copy if you need to amend, I strongly suggest deleting the old data and import the new data from the corrected 1099B.
