  5. Select Continue and then Done.
  6. On the Since you got an IRS notice, we need to check on a few things screen, select the radio button next to No, none of these apply and I need to fill out the 8862 form.

I need to file a 8862 form

what is the issue that prevents you from filing the form and I assume you are really referring to that form and not form 8962?  if you mean form 8962 what's the issue with that form?

I need to file a 8862 form

Need you to clarify a few items.  Did you attempt to efile your return?  Or did you print and mail a paper copy to the IRS?  If you attempted to efile your return and received a rejection notice, you should be able to go back into your return and using the search bar, (upper right of screen) enter Form 8862.  The jump-to link will take you to the relevant screen where you can begin to enter your information.  

 

What are you seeing on your screen that prevents you from editing your information?
