I can't get the child tax credit and Schedule 8812 to generate on a 2021 return. I have completed the due diligence checklist, they have SSNs, they did not receive advanced child tax credit payments. How can I force ProConnect to generate Schedule 8812? What is preventing this? They show as qualified for child tax credit.

This should be automatic. Review your input for Dependents and see if all the choices are 1 for Type, EIC, CTC

Frustrated Student? It only gets more frustrating the longer you stay in this profession. Unless this is your final semester, you still have time to find a profession that doesn't get frustrating. Being a mortician isn't a bad profession. At least you get to bury your mistakes 😬

Thanks to those who replied (except maybe the mortician dude - do you really think it is better to deal with dead bodies than do taxes?).

I gave up on trying to debug what the problem was and just started over. Second time around it worked perfectly. I still don't know exactly which input field caused the problem and I wasted hours of my life on it, so that's not much fun, but I got there in the end.
