There will be plenty of returns with no dependents filing for Tax Year 2021 for Taxpayers who DID get advance child payments.
The 2021 Tax Year return is being used to reconcile those payments.
The software should have asked if you received any payments in the interview, but if you bypassed that it may need to verify that information during review.
I suggest you report no advance payments received and move on.
The software should not imply that you are entitled to additional credits.
For the Charitable Contribution, this procedure worked last year. I am not yet able to test it for Tax Year 2021, but it might be of assistance.
Go to Step-By-Step input (top right corner of screen)
Click Federal
Click Deductions & Credits along the top
Click “I’ll choose what I work on”
Edit or Update Donations to Charity in 2020 if needed, then click “Done with Charitable Donations”
Scroll down the “Your 2021 Deductions & Credits” screen and click “Done with Deductions”
Click Continue on the “Let’s Check Your Deductions and Credits” screen
Continue through the following interview questions until you get to the “Here Are Your 2021 Deductions & Credits” screen
Click Continue
If the next screen says “The Standard deduction is Right for You!” click Continue
ON THE NEXT SCREEN enter the cash contribution made in 2021 up to $ 300 or ( $600 Married Filing Jointly) and click Continue
Your 1040 should update
