This tax credit doesnt apply to me because i dont have children but it still is asking for a value greater than zero to be submitted into the box. What should i do?

You have no children listed on your tax return anywhere? What about any other types of dependents?

Line E is the line for the child tax credit it is asking me to input the value that applies to me “4” for each dependant if im single and make under 71k. “1” for each dependant if i make over 71k and “0” for each dependant if i make over 200k . Seeing that this tax credit doesnt apply to me i have no children dependants what value should i put on this line?

Are you using TaxCaster or a W4 calculator of some kind or is this in the actual tax return preparation?
