I received a letter from the IRS for audit. I received forms 886-h-aoc and 886-h-eic. Can you help me with this process? I have 30 days from 03/04/2019 to comply.

If you purchased Audit Defense, you should contact them immediately so they can help you through the process. Here is a contact link: http://www.taxaudit.com/turbo-tax-audit-defense. 

You can also check out the TurboTax Audit Support Center.  This is free even if you did not purchase Audit Defense.  In addition to using our self-help tools, you can call and talk to a tax expert to assist you in more detail. The following link will take you there: https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/irs-notice/audit-support/.

Basically, for the 886-h-eic, you will need documentation to:

• prove that your child lived with you in the US for more than half the year (School records, Daycare records)
• prove how you are related to the child (Birth Certificate, court records, adoption records)
• If your child is over age 19: Prove they were a full-time student or totally and permanently disabled
