Im eligible for EIC this year I was rejected a few years ago, my income was low enough a few years ago but I had too much investment income , my tax software, another brand, did not detect this and applied for me anyway and it was rejected via mail because although my income was low enough the investment income was too high.
Im eligible this year, would this be considered a "clerical error"? so I can just file again, or do I need to use the form 8862, should I check clerical or math error or not, or just not use this form and apply? thanks
