I filed January 14th and I received a email just few moments ago saying my federal refund was rejected because the form I think the number was 8862 for earned income child credit was not filled out which I did not know about and turbo tax said they could fix it I signed back in and it had put the refund through again but I did not see anything about that form or ask item to sign it has anyone had this issue before and have any information on this

Thank you

Follow these steps to add Form 8862 to your taxes.

  1. Sign into your TurboTax account and click the big, orange Continue your return button.
  2. Click Search in the upper right-hand corner and search for 8862.
  3. Select the first result: Jump to 8862.

Now you are at the beginning of the Earned Income Credit.

  1. Continue on the first two screens and stop when you see Do any of these uncommon situations apply?
  1. Check the box that says, "I got an IRS notice saying that I can only claim the Earned Income Credit if I file an 8862" and Continue.  
  2. Select Done, but hang on, there are a few more steps to go. 
  3. Answer the question about your IRS notice. Select No to file 8862.
