Finishing federal return, smart check takes me to error on schedule 8812 child tax care credit. I did not address any childcare credit. How do I clear the error?

@tomq7 Please see the answer from @DawnC above.  You need to go back through the interview section related to the Child Tax Credit so that the system is aware that you have no need to file it.

I have gone to form and deleted schedule 8812 4 times.  Everytime I go back to smart check, I get the same two errors on that schedule.  Tell me how to get out of this nightmare and fix your product.

Do not delete Schedule 8812.

Enter 0 and you will be able to file the tax return.

Every person filing a tax return for 2021 is required to complete this form whether you have a dependent or not.

This is to confirm that you did not receive any Advance Child Tax Credit
