Why is ProSeries Basic posting a Form 8812 Child Tax Care Credit error when the taxpayer has no children or dependents listed.  

When I ran the review for my first two clients that have no dependents or children listed on their returns, an error is highlighted on Form 8812 under "Principal Place of Abode Letter 6419 Information Smart Worksheet"- Line B1 Advanced child tax credit payments received from letter 6419 - Taxpayer.

When I enter the appropriate amount of $0 the error goes away. However, it seems a waste of time because Form 8812 is not relevant to these taxpayers.
