I have no child credit coming yet TT keeps telling me I need to fill out 8812.

I have deleted the blank form but it keeps telling me there's an error saying that I have to fix it before filing.

Did you say in My Info that you have a child?

Advanced child care credit was given to many taxpayers in 2021 based on their 2020 return. That now has to be reconciled based on their 2021 return. Just complete the form. If you received no advanced credit just report that.

EVERYONE filing a tax return this year will have to visit the CTC section of the program even if they are not claiming any dependents on the 2021 return because the program cannot KNOW who got a CTC advance last year.

This goes for the third stimulus payment as well ... EVERYONE will need to answer those RRC questions.

And with the changes to the EIC more taxpayers will be eligible for it this year ... it is important to visit this credit as well.

Failure to complete any of these sections will result in error messages when you get to the REVIEW tab and you cannot efile with those errors.

So everyone needs to complete all sections of the TT interview and not skip the deductions & credits section this year even if they have in the past.
