Need help correcting an error involving schedule 8812

Hi, I evidently entered something wrong and need help to correct my mistake.

After entering my Federal Tax data, Smart Check flagged an error on Schedule 8812 showing that I had an amount entered on line 1 and 3 thus necessitating an entry in the line 12 worksheet box.

There should not be an entry on 8812. We are not claiming any credits for Qualifying Children. Where in TT Deluxe do I go to make the correction eliminating this entry?

Thanks

In TurboTax online, please revisit the section Deductions and Credits > You and your family > Advance payments, Child and Other Dependent Tax Credits. Please follow the interview and you will have the opportunity to correct your entry.

Problem solved...Thank you.

Just a note: "Advance payments," actually doesn't show on that line, at least not in the TT version I'm using. The path was: Deductions and Credits > You and your family >Child and Other Dependent Tax Credit . I then followed the interview to state that no payments were received.

Thanks again. I appreciate you help.
