Schedule 8812 not showing up

I am qualified for Child Tax Credit of $12,600.  I've gotten half of it from AdvCTC payments.  I need to file a schedule 8812 with my tax return to get the rest.  I'm at the point of filing my return and I don't see that TurboTax has added schedule 8812 to my tax return.  Is this something I have to do separately?  I don't want to have to fix my return after sending it because TurboTax "missed" it.

Schedule 8812 not showing up

Go to Deductions & Credits

Scroll down to "You and Your Family"

Scroll down to the last option "Child and Other Dependent Tax Credit" 

Click START 

 

The amount of the credit less your advance payments will be the final credit amount.

Schedule 8812 not showing up

@KrisD15 That didn't answer my question.

 

I know that I am well below the $150,000 phase out and that a Schedule 8812 is required to get the rest of the Child Tax Credit.  

 

The problem is, TurboTax doesn't seem to be including the Schedule 8812 with my return.  Is this a TurboTax problem? Or is this something I have to make sure to include on my own?

Did you follow the steps above? 

 

Do you have anything listed on your 1040 lines 19 and/or 28?

Schedule 8812 not showing up

It turns out I had entered everything correctly to begin with, I just couldn't find the schedule I was looking for.  I found it by clicking Tax Data at the top and opening the form from there.  It was tricky because the amount I entered as the AdvCTC was the same amount as the CTC I was getting back.  I wanted to make sure that the schedule was included in the return per Letter 6419.
