To confirm the draft

After reviewing the draft, the taxpayer can complete or rectify it before confirming it. Confirmation of the draft involves filing the Personal Income Tax (IRPF) declaration. The deadline for confirming the draft ends on June 30 (last day of the Income Tax Campaign), unless the result is to be paid and the payment is domiciled, in which case, the deadline ends on June 23.

There are several ways to confirm the draft, depending on whether the result thereof is tax payable or receivable and if the payment is direct debited. Direct debit means that you can file your income tax return or confirm your draft income tax return any day, but the payment will not be made until June 30, the last day of the Income Tax Campaign. Direct debit does not prevent you from continuing to split the tax payment into two instalments (the second instalment is paid on November 5).

At the time of confirming the draft, the taxpayer will need some of the following information: the NIF, the current account number, the reference number of the draft (it appears in the letter that accompanies the draft) and the receipt number (it is the one that appears in the payment or refund document that accompanies the draft). To confirm the draft Income Tax return online, you do not need a digital signature, unless you wish to pay when confirming.

When the taxpayer requests the draft, the Tax Agency analyses the circumstances and, if the conditions established by law are met, it sends out the draft by post to the taxpayer's registered address, unless it was requested online using a user certificate, in which case access will be provided online. If the taxpayer is not eligible for a draft, the Tax Agency will send them the tax information sheet to help them draw up their tax return. The draft and tax details can be requested up until 23 June.

Once the draft has been received, the taxpayer must review the data that appears therein and, if he or she agrees, he or she simply needs to confirm it for his or her personal income tax return to be filed. If you feel that any information is missing and you wish to complete the draft or modify any of the information that appears, you must do so before confirming the draft. Requesters must bear in mind that the details included are obtained from information provided by third parties (employers, institutions, etc.).

How to modify or rectify the Income tax draft

When the taxpayer wishes to modify the draft, he/she can do so through these channels:

  • By Internet
  • By phone (901 200 345)
  • In person at the offices of the Tax Agency and collaborating entities, by making an appointment online or by calling 901 12 12 24 (automatic service 24 hours a day from April 2 to June 29).

In order to facilitate the Income Tax return for the greatest possible number of taxpayers, the Tax Agency has extended the scope of taxpayers eligible to receive the draft and prepared a form that cannot be confirmed directly, rather that the taxpayer must insert specific details. To avoid any confusion, it is referred to as “Draft declaration pending rectification”. Once completed, this draft can be confirmed.

The main cases in which the draft cannot be confirmed directly are as follows:

  • Draft containing a positive amount and no obligation to declare. The taxpayer is not obliged to file a tax return, but has requested the draft and an amount is payable. To prevent, by mistake, the draft from being confirmed and paid, the draft is sent but without the option of confirming.
  • First year of a mortgage loan. In the first year, it must be the taxpayer who indicates whether the loan is for the acquisition of their principal residence. Furthermore, other expenses can be included for the acquisition of property that entitle the taxpayer to a deduction, such as the costs of processing the deeds.
  • Having obtained income from minor professional activities. When the taxpayer has earned very limited income from a professional activity, it is very likely in these cases that benefits are linked to their employment relationship, for example, imparting courses or conferences; In this case, they are considered work income and as such should have been declared. However, the taxpayer is responsible for modifying this on the draft and informing their employer to avoid errors in subsequent years.
  • For having any descendants born or adopted in 2007. In this case, the taxpayer must provide the descendant's details (date of birth, NIF, relationship, etc.) so that they can be taken into account in the calculations.
  • As their descendants aged over 14 have no tax ID No. From this age, having a DNI (NIF) is mandatory. Furthermore, the NIF number is required to establish whether the descendant is obliged to file a tax return based on their income.
  • Having obtained public subsidies. If the taxpayer was the beneficiary of public subsidies in 2007, he/she must state the destination of the subsidy. Specifically, if it has been used to purchase their main residence.
