form 8862 is missing from the return
8862 is only required on a return where the EIC on aprevious retuurn was reduced or disallowed for any reason other than a math error. if this is not your situation you answered this question incorrectly while doing your return
i answered yes for eic dissalowance because several years back i had went to liberty tax and the amount they told me i would be getting back ended up being significantly reduced by about half so i was confused and answered the question incorrectly
Follow these steps to add Form 8862 to your taxes.
Now you are at the beginning of the Earned Income Credit.
Does this mean I should've previously received a letter in the mail from the IRS? My taxes were rejected with this same code, but I'm not sure why I need to attach a form when I've been doing without on previous years. This is the first time in 30+ years that my taxes were rejected.
Not necessarily. If you checked the wrong box in the Earned Income Section, you would receive that rejection notice. You can go back into the return, go back through the Earned Income Credit questions and attach Form 8862 if required. Then resubmit the return for e-filing again. @Sonnymaha
THANKS
What if I don't know or remember if there was a letter sent out? How do I find out? IRS keeps sending me to accounting and they are too busy and it just hangs up.

It's that everytime I submit my taxes this code keeps coming up.
