While doing my taxes i get to a part where its asking for a child tax credit and to fill out a form called a 8812 . I do not have kids why does this keep popping up
Please be aware, that because of the advanced payments for the Child Tax Credit TurboTax will ask everyone if they received any advanced payments even if you do not have children listed on your return. The reason is that there are situations where parents received the advanced payment but do not claim the child in 2021.
Form 8812 will be used to report that you did not receive any advanced payments.

This happens to me, too. It gets regenerated after deleting.
Before you file, TT will let you print/save all forms to be filed. Check to see if Form 8812 is included. It is not included for me when I save the *Filing.pdf.
