Hi expert! I’m going through this currently and it’s giving me the opportunity to fix my rejection but then it got rejected again and it’s saying the same thing as before. Even after I did the necessary steps when e-filing. What do I do? Does the 8862 form need to be personally submitted with appropriate tax forms? Do I have to paper file? Or what!! I need help 😥
