How to fill out the IRS 8862 online
Filling out IRS Form 8862 is an important step for individuals wishing to claim the Earned Income Credit after a prior disallowance. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of completing the form online, ensuring that you understand each section and field.
Follow the steps to complete the form accurately
- Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the IRS 8862 form and open it for editing.
- Enter the year for which you are filing the form in the designated field next to 'Enter the year for which you are filing this form'.
- Indicate if the only reason your Earned Income Credit (EIC) was reduced or disallowed in the earlier year was due to incorrect reporting by checking 'Yes' or 'No'. If you checked 'Yes', you will need to stop here and attach the form to your tax return.
- Answer whether you or your partner could be claimed as a qualifying child of another taxpayer for the year indicated. Check 'Yes' or 'No'. If 'Yes', stop here; you cannot take the EIC.
- In Part II (for filers with a qualifying child), enter the number of days each qualifying child lived with you in the United States during the specified year. Make sure to provide accurate counts.
- If applicable, note the birth or death dates of any qualifying child on the provided lines.
- Provide the relevant addresses where you and each qualifying child lived during the year. If there are multiple addresses, attach additional documentation as necessary.
- Indicate if any other person lived with the qualifying child for more than half the year, entering names and relationships where required.
- For filers without a qualifying child, enter the total number of days you lived in the United States during the specified year.
- Review all information entered for accuracy, save your changes, and prepare to either download, print, or share the completed form.
