Please follow these instructions to complete Form 8862:

  • When the results populate, click the "Jump to Link
  • This will take you to the Earned Income Credit Section. Click "Continue"
  • Walk through the TurboTax interview questions until you get to "Do any of these uncommon situations apply?" and check the box that says, "I/we got a letter/notice from the IRS telling me/us to fill out an 8862 form to claim the Earned Income Credit"
  • Select "Continue" then "Done"
  • Next to "Since you got an IRS notice, we need to check on a few things", select "No, none of these apply and I need to fill out the 8862 form"
  •  Select "Continue" and answer the remaining questions
