You can prepare form 8812 with TurboTax. Follow the steps below to add the form:

  1. Go to Federal Taxes.

  3. Go to You and Your Family and click show more.
  4. Select Child and Other Dependent Tax Credits and click Revisit.
  5.  Answer any question that apply to you and navigate to the screen where it asks "If you received a letter/notice from the IRS stating you must file form 8862 to claim the Child Tax Credit" and select Yes.

This answer is flat out wrong.  The original question was about form 8812 not form 8862-  two completely different forms
