Correcting error when completing tax information. Schedule 8812 keeps coming up to be completed.

I am trying to complete entering the information on my taxes.  When I review the form, Schedule 8812 keeps popping up to be completed.   I do not qualify for the Child Tax credit.   How do I get this off my tax form so I can get my taxes filed.   I have never had this problem using Turbo Tax previously.   Please advise ASAP as I would like to get my taxes filed.

When the error comes up, just enter zero for the advance payments you received. That will eliminate the error.

As a precaution to make sure that any child tax credit and advance child tax credit payments are correctly reported, TurboTax asks questions about the child tax credit to every taxpayer and fills out form 8812.

 

In fact, some people do not have dependents in 2021 but may have received advance child tax credit payments because they had dependents in 2020.

 

If you have no child dependent, just enter 0. If you did not receive advance child tax credit payments, enter 0.
