Why is proseries populating Form 8812 in a 1040 that has no dependents or children.

Married taxpayers with no dependents and no children, yet proseries populates the Form 8812 for the additional child tax credit and wants questions answered in Part 1A for "advance child care tax payments received from letter 6419." Sure, I can put 0, but don't know why this form would be asking for information for taxpayers who have never had dependents.

If you enter zeros in the worksheet, the 8812 doesnt get included with the return.

It's there just to make sure nobody forgets about the advance payments.

Or you might have some kids you forgot about!

The software doesnt look back to see if you had dependents in 2020 that you may have received the advanced CTC in 2021..

So, I have to have the 8812 in the return?? There is no way to remove it?

I think it is not worth discussing with people who reply just to be arbitrary.

Well think about this! Why does Missouri print a payment voucher when you have selected electronic payment for tax due. I can't delete the form so I rip it up and throw it away after printing because in two places in the return it states paying electronically, but I wasn't going to mention it because I figured other people figured it out already.
