Form 8862 - Enter or Delete Form Information

IRS Form 8862, Information To Claim Certain Refundable Credits After Disallowance, is used if your earned income credit (EIC) was reduced or disallowed in a previous year and you would like to claim the EIC on your current return.
If you were previously disallowed from taking the EIC, claiming the credit this year will result in your return being rejected with IRS error code IND-046. This rejection will instruct you to attach Form 8862 to your return and refile.

To add Form 8862 to your TaxAct return, go to our Form 8862 - Earned Income Credit Claim After Disallowance FAQ. After you have finished entering the information for Form 8862, you can refile your return.
