When I run Smart Check, it continually states that two entries are missing in SCH 8812. However, I have no children... and haven't entered anything about children. Why is Smart Check requesting I fill out SCH 8812?

Everyone is being asked this question since TurboTax does not know if the user was one who received these advances from the IRS in 2021.

Enter a 0 (zero) when asked to enter a number on the Schedule 8812. This will correct the issue and remove the Schedule 8812 from your tax return so that you can file the return.

I believe it's automatic to include 8812 this year because so many received child tax credit money in advance. I attempted to delete it as well to no avail, so I entered zero in the required blanks and it works to resolve the error check.
