you may have to upgrade to deluxe so form can be included in e-file.  or you can get copy from the IRS website and mail it in with your return.

It means you have one or two sections missing the form.

 

You have to click the check mark that says you have to file form 8862 in the Earned Income Section AND in the Child Tax Credit or Other Dependent Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit.

I called the irs and I faxed my 8862 form I just trying to see how the process goes as of right now I’m getting a tax advocate because my return was accepted until the 20th then they try to reject it and say I need a 8862 form

It sounds like you’ve done what you needed to do as far as FAXing Form 8862 to the IRS.  At this point, you should just wait until the IRS contacts you.

If you’ve already been in touch with the Taxpayer Advocate, and they’ve accepted your case, be sure to follow their instructions.  They’re working for you, with your best interests in mind.
