To resolve this rejection, you will need to add Form 8862: Information to Claim Earned Income Credit After Disallowance to your return.  

  1. Sign out of the app by tapping the menu icon in the upper-left corner, then Sign Out.
  2. Open your browser (either on your device or a computer) and sign in at MyTurboTax.com (use your app login).
  3. Fix and refile your return in TurboTax Online.

    • On this screen, check the 4th box, I got a letter/notice from the IRS telling me to fill out an 8862 form to claim the Earned Income Credit. Select Continue.

  5. The next screen will display Form 8862, which you'll need to complete (the program will double-check your entries in the next step). When finished, select Continue.
  6. Now choose Review.
    • Mobile devices: Select the menu icon in the upper left corner, then select Review.
  7. Go through the Review section to find and correct any blank entries on the 8862. If you had to fix anything, run through the review again until there are no more errors.

  1. Select File in the left-hand menu.
    • Mobile devices: Select the menu icon in the upper left corner, then select File.
