Form 14819: Supporting Documents for Dependents
Form 14819, Supporting Documents for Dependents, is a two-page IRS list of the photocopies to send for a dependent claimed on a return. Its footer says it was previously identified as Form 886-H-DEP.
The top of page 1 has spaces for the taxpayer name, taxpayer identification number and tax year. Below are three tables, each read as "If you are" or "If the person is", "And", and "Then please send photocopies of the following documents": one for parents who are divorced, legally separated or living apart, one for a qualifying child, and one for a qualifying relative. Page 2 lists documents that show the taxpayer provided more than half of the dependent's total support.
The form refers to 2026 throughout. It says the IRS can't accept documents signed by someone related to the taxpayer. You can fill in the header free in your browser on this page and download the form without an account.
