Form 8812 is not included in 2025 return. Is there an error in TurboTax?

I have 2 dependents included in Form 1040 with the Child Tax Credit box checked; however, I am not taking the credit on Line 19 or 28 given the income level. When I review the tax forms for filling, Schedule 8812 is not included. Is something missing? For reference, last year I ha dated same income and did not take the child tax credit but the form was included in the return.

No this isn't an error. Form 8812 only shows up when there’s something to report on Line 19 or Line 28 of your Form 1040. If you’re not claiming a credit, it won’t generate, even if you saw it last year.
