Taxpayer's claim for American opportunity tax credit was reduced in the 2018 tax return. Is a Form 8862 automatically required in his 2019 tax return?
I have also read a source that says:
".....Your EITC, CTC/ACTC or AOTC was reduced or disallowed and you received a letter saying you had to complete and attach Form 8862 the next time you claim the credit(s);....."
So if the taxpayer did not receive any letter, does that mean he is not required to attach Form 8862 to his 2019 tax return?
