In 2021, everyone is being asked to confirm that they did not receive any Advanced Child Tax Credit payments even if they are not claiming any children on their return. If you are not eligible for the Child Tax Credit because you are not claiming any children on your 2021 tax return, please follow these steps:

  1. In the Federal section of your return, go to Deductions & Credits
  2. Scroll down to You and Your Family and click Revisit/Start next to Advance payments, Child and Other Dependent Tax Credits
  3. Click Continue
  4. Answer Let's start with where you spent the most time in 2021.
  5. Answer No to Did you receive any advance Child Tax Credit payments in 2021?

This should clear any errors regarding Form 8812 you might be running into if you did not claim any children or other dependents on your tax return.
