If you have a specific question, please add to this post.  You only need to file the Form 8862 if you had any credits denied in the past.  

 

Taxpayers complete Form 8862 and attach it to their tax return if:

  • The earned income credit (EIC), child tax credit (CTC)/additional child tax credit (ACTC), credit for other dependents (ODC) or American opportunity credit (AOTC) was reduced or disallowed for any reason other than a math or clerical error.
  • you want to take the credit(s) and meet all the requirements.
