If the IRS blocked your Earned Income Credit (EIC) on a past return, you don’t just lose it forever \u2014 but you can’t simply re-claim it either. IRS Form 8862<\/strong> is the specific form that tells the IRS you’re eligible again, and skipping it will get your return rejected. This guide walks you through who needs it, whether you’re even allowed to file yet, and how to fill it out step by step.<\/p>\n
