Hello,
I am using Turbo Tax deluxe for my 2021 Federal Tax Return and when I do the SMART CHECK it presents me with errors on the 8812 form. I do not know why I need this form, it is just a married filing joint return with no other dependents.
It also has lines 1 and 3 filled in with a dollar amount, which I have no idea where that amount originated.
It is not my total income.
Did I fill something in incorrectly to have these 2 errors display?
Line B1 wants ADVANCE CHILD TAX CREDIT PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM LETTER 6419 - TAXPAYER and
Line B2 wants ADVANCE CHILD TAX CREDIT PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM LETTER 6419 - SPOUSE
I do not think I should have any Child Tax Credits .
Thank you
MrLennyB55
You may have answered yes to a question along the way.
To clear this issue and delete form 8812 click the following:
hank you for your response. I ended up putting a zero in the 2 fields that Turbo Tax wanted me to fill in on the 8812 form and then ran the Smart Check again and I now have no errors.
Before doing that, I tried looking for the 8812 form in my list of forms for my return and it was not listed.
Anyway the problem seems to be solved.
Thank you
