Smart check error - Schedule 8812: Advance payments received must be entered.

I'm filing a simple return for my dependent with only a W-2.  When I run Smart Check, it flags the following error.

 

Schedule 8812: Advance payments received must be entered.

 

The line item identified in the worksheet requires an entry for the following.

 

B1 Advance child tax credit payments received from Letter 6419 - taxpayer.

 

My dependent received no advance child tax credit payments.  So the simple solution is to enter a 0 to pass the Smart Check.  However, I don't feel like Smart Check should be flagging this as an error.  I wasn't prompted to enter this amount anywhere prior to running Smart Check.

I had to walk through the Child and Other Dependent Tax Credit section.  After answering those questions, the Smart Check no longer flagged an error.

Thank You BigO81 !!

 

I had same error.  Answering questions for Child and Other Dependent Tax Credit, as you suggested, addressed the error.  Smart Check no longer flagged this error.
