Smart Check keeps requesting SCH 8812. Why???

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?

Smart Check keeps requesting SCH 8812. Why???

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.
