Question

Smart check revealed an error

Says I must enter an amount on schedule 8812 for advanced payments.  Appears to be something about chid care of which I do not have young children or child care costs.

    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.
