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

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.
