How do I retrieve Form 8862 after I deleted it?

TurboTax must compute the Earned Income Credit if applicable. 

You cannot remove it from a return the software has processed.

How do I retrieve Form 8862 after I deleted it?

When I look at the forms on my return, the 8862 is not there (I have not filed yet) but all the information for the credit is on the return. If I file it like this, I know it will be rejected because the actual 8862 is  not there. 

I have a strange feeling that I would have to start the return all over again from the beginning in order to have that form appear - I deleted it and I understand that there is no way to get it back - so, what now?

How do I retrieve Form 8862 after I deleted it?

Please try the Form 8862 entry procedure on the How do I enter Form 8862? page.

You’ll proceed through a few screens until you get to the Do any of these uncommon situations apply? page.  

Then you’ll check the box next to the statement I/we got a letter/notice from the IRS telling me/us to fill out an 8862 form to claim the Earned Income Credit.
