How do I add form 8812 while filing my taxes with TurboTax? I received a letter from the IRS stating I need to fill out form 8812 to get the 2nd half of my Child Tax Credit (received the 1st half in advanced payments), but when asked how much I received in advanced payments, it deducts the amount from my expected federal refund even though it shouldn't.

The full child tax credit is included in return when you enter your dependents. When you enter the advanced payments you received it’s subtracted from full credit available so you get the second half with the return. You already received the advanced payments . The calculations are correct.

Use letter 6419 to enter the amount of advance CTC that you already received. Enter the amount carefully. The remaining amount of CTC you can receive on your return will show up on line 28 of your Form 1040.
