In the review Schedule 8812 comes up and I do not Know How to get rid of it

Are you reporting advance payments for the Child Tax Credits? TurboTax will create Schedule 8812 to determine how advance payments are treated in your tax return.

Report the Advance Child Tax Credit payments received under Federal / Deductions & Credits / Your tax breaks / Advance payments, Child and Other Dependent Tax Credits.

See this TurboTax Help.

A Schedule 8812 appeared in my tax return and I don't have children and never fill out information for it. I tried to delete it from the Form section but I won't go away. How do I get rid of it?

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.

I want to know what is this deduction. I do not have children and would like to take it out of my return. Can anyone give me some hints?

You can try deleing the form 8812.

A simple way to delete forms in TurboTax online is to use the Tax Tools menu option, which is on your left menu bar when you are working in your program. Then, choose Tools and then Delete a form.

If you are working in the download TurboTax program, use the Forms Mode on your menu bar to bring up the form you want to delete, then choose the Delete Form option at the bottom of the form.

This is a confusing question and should not be asked unless our tax return includes Schedule 8812. This question on advanced payments is definitely not a question for everyone.

TT doesn't know if this form is required or not? If a taxpayer has no children listed as dependents it should not be shown. In our case we are in our 70's, married and with no children. Yet we see this form on TT for our return. In the unusual situation where a parent has an agreement with an ex-spouse but does not show any children as dependents, this form can be added by TT if the parent answers that they have such an agreement.

Since so many of us are flummoxed by this and have no use (no young children), TT should give an explanation with the question and spare us all some time.

Everyone is being asked to answer questions concerning the Advanced Child Tax Credit. You cannot eliminate this form for 2021. Answer the questions that you did not receive any Advanced Child Tax Credit and proceed.
