Form 8862 is the form the IRS requires to be filed when the Earned Income Credit or EIC has been disallowed in a prior year.  TurboTax can help you fill out your 8862 form, see below for instructions on how to find this form in TurboTax and on how to complete it.

To find the 8862 in TurboTax:

  • Federal Taxes (Personal if using TurboTax Self Employed or Home and Business)
  • Deductions & Credits
  • You may need to click on Skip to see all tax breaks
  • Scroll down to You and Your Family and click on Show More
  • Earned Income Credit (EIC)
  • Start or update

 Follow the interview questions until you see the screen that asks "Do any of these uncommon situations apply? " Then choose that you need the 8862.
