Why is Schedule 8812 appearing for a disabled dependent age 23?

TP has a 23 year old disabled dependent. PS automatically includes Schedule 8812: Child Tax Credit and requires box 13 to be completed.

Why is PS requiring this form to be completed when the advanced child tax credit doesn't apply to Other Dependents?

Is this something that needs to be fixed or am I missing something here?

I think the 8812 may show up on every return, just in case your did get one of those ACTC advanced payments (even if you weren't supposed to). Cant you just put a zero on the line?

Yes, and you also have to check that they lived in a home in the U.S., which is extra, unnecessary work when things get hopping.

Thanks.

Thank you for asking. This form is being required for a family member who has never had a child. I thought I must have done something in error on the information sheet for it to attach to her return, but I certainly can't find anything. Seems silly when there is no history or indication.

I have read thru the comments below.....this is rediculous! 8812 SHOULD NOT populate on every tax return! Another example of "programmers" trying to write code when they don't understand its purpose. PROSERIES FIX IT!

Are you a programmer? Do you have inside knowledge the rest of us don't? You are an unlicensed tax preparer......you have no idea "how something is supposed to work"!
