I do not want to use Form 8862 (EIC) so I deleted it from my return however the figures are still present and I cannot delete them - how to I now remove the figures from my return OR how do I solve this problem?
TurboTax must compute the Earned Income Credit if applicable.
You cannot remove it from a return the software has processed.
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?
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.
John: I tried and I cannot get to #6 - it simply says I qualify and proceeds with the return. When I check the forms list for my return, it shows EIC worksheet and Earned Income WKS but no 8862.
