CKnight90, glad I read your reply. Removing Turbo Tax software and files and then redoing my tax return did the trick and the IRS accepted my return.
But there might be another solution and it references your comment on how form 8862 gets filled out. I received a letter from the IRS telling me I needed to fill out form 8862. I answered this question correctly on TT and if memory serves me correctly TT said I didn't need to fill it out. Filed and rejected, corrected with added form 8862 - REJECTED again. Regardless I noticed a difference in the form from the correction to the removal and redoing of my taxes. Maybe if you do the correction and then look at the form Part III for the child tax credit and see if it is filled out too? For me my dependent is over 17 and in college so I could claim him for the (ODC) other dependent credit. Might save a lot of time by just filling that out (TT filled out part IV correctly American Opportunity Tax Credit) and re-sending your taxes to see if the IRS would accept. I spent a lot of time doing all that I did just to e-file. When I talked to a TT person for help they were probably in another country and the noise environment around them was incredible 🙂 The guy didn't have a clue.
