When doing our taxes, it keeps adding the child credit form to our return when we don't have children to claim. I have redone them four times and it keeps adding it. Any suggestions???

    Please be aware, that everybody will have to answer the question if you received the advance payments for the Child Tax Credit since some people received the advanced payments but don't claim their child on the 2021 tax return.

    The 8812 may be added to the return even if you have no kids to claim ... it should be a zero bottom line so just leave it be.
