5. Select "Done" on the Congrats, you get a tax break screen
6. You'll now see the Since you got an IRS notice, we need to check on a few things screen. Select "No," and then "Continue"
7. Answer the questions about the Earned Income Credit
8. When you come back to the Your tax breaks screen, select "Review" in the left menu
9. 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 aren't any errors

My return rejected multiple times as well until I made sure the correct boxes were checked on form 8862. You can't just check one box for EIC if you are also claiming the Child Tax Credit/Additional child Tax Credit etc.

It will only want to check one box. You have to go through and answer the questions in the system regarding this form in each  of the sections that ask you questions regarding each credit.
