Advanced Child Tax Credit Repayment Protection

On my clients 6419 it reports 3 children that she received ACTC payments for which is correct. This year she is only claiming 1 child and qualifies for Repayment Protection. However, the program is putting 1 child in on the 8812 and that is causing her to have to repay. Has anyone come across this yet? How do I get the program to calculate it correctly?

Is this the same and the question you asked last week, here:

https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/tax-talk/discussion/advanced-child-tax-credit-repayment-protection/00/196773

Did you read that reply. Are you going to participate in that discussion further, so that you can get the help you want?

I will flag this for deletion unless it's not the same issue. Thanks.

It is the same question. The reply simply asked how I knew they qualified. The answer to that is based off the IRS guidelines. I now know that its because the program is not putting the number of children reported on the 6419 but the number of children on the return, which per the IRS is incorrect.

It is working for me.  Are you saying that Line 30 of the 8812 is only showing 1, rather than the 3 that you entered from the 6419 worksheet?
