Smart Check is telling me to enter Child's Taxable Interest. I don't have any dependent children. It wants child name, SSN and interest income. How do I fix this?

The form it is asking me to fill out is 8814

[IsabellaG · Accepted solution]

Since you are using a Desktop version of TurboTax, you have the ability to see all of the forms in your return. Deleting the Form 8814 that's in your return, and any related forms or worksheets that  may have created the Form 8814 should get rid of this error.

1. Switch to the Forms Mode.Click the icon located in the upper right hand corner,
2. On the left side of your screen, under Forms in My Return, locate the Form 8814 and open it.
   
3. On the bottom left side of your form, choose Delete Form.
   
4. Go through the list and see if there are any other forms that relate to this issue.
   
5. Run Smart Check again.

asking me to enter tax advance payment for child credit i dont have any dependent children

[JamesG1]

Everyone has to answer whether they received advance child tax credit payments.

There are scenarios where taxpayers receive the advance child tax credit payments in 2021 but do not qualify for the Child Tax Credit on their 2021 Federal tax return.

If you did not receive any of those payments between July and December, report that you received $0.
