Turbotax is asking me to correct schedule 8812

I have no children.  I tried to remove the form - it did not work.  I am using the CD/Desktop version of turbotax.

 

If I ignore smart correct - shall I just continue as is?

    That did not work.  I do not have any children.

     

    I ended up going back and filing out the entire family section to fix the error.  

    this is a bug in TurboTax.

    If you had no advanced payments enter zero.

    Yup!🏆🍾 Had to do the same thing. Back to my personal info, still showed zero dependents, just re-saved everything. Problem automatically solved back at error check. A stupid program glitch that can take hours to solve. I just got lucky.

    I have no clue what they are looking for. All my children are grown and have children of their own.

    You should be able to just answer no if you are seeing this in the final review section.  It is asking everyone if they received the advance child tax credit payments.  Some people who no longer have eligible children did receive the payments. 

     

    You can also go back to Deductions and Credits>>Show More next to you and your family>>Start next to Advance Payments, Child and Other Dependent Tax Credits and answer no you did not receive any of the advance payments.

    I went the Deductions and Credits route myself.    IMHO TT should make this mandatory to answer before you get to the end (error checking)
