Follow
the interview questions until you see the screen that asks "Do any of
these uncommon situations apply? Then
choose the option "I got
an IRS notice saying that I can’t claim the Earned Income Credit in 2016" (or if you need to fill out the Form 8862 you can choose that option).
This will remove the EIC from your return and you can e-file.
