I am a senior filing jointly with my spouse. I have no W-2 earnings but I have earnings from my social security , IRA and K-1. I did the calculation of the EITC. I had no EITC in 2020 but I did in 2019. According to the Turbo Tax calculation, I am entitled to the EITC with my 2021 filing. I never received a Form 8862 for prior years. However, when I try to file my Fed 1040 and NJ 1040, I am instructed to file manually. Why can I not file electronically?

You must complete Form 8862 and attach it to your tax return to claim the EIC if both of the following apply.

Your EIC was previously reduced or disallowed for any reason other than a math or clerical error.
You now want to claim the credit that was previously reduced or disallowed and you meet all the requirements for the credit.

What is e-file reject F1040-164-01?

How do I enter Form 8862?
