Form 13588 (sp): Native Americans and the Earned Income Credit, Spanish Version

Form 13588 (sp) is the Spanish version of Form 13588, Native Americans and the Earned Income Credit. Its Spanish title is "Indígenas estadounidenses y el Crédito por ingreso de trabajo." It is a one-page IRS list of alternative documentation, and it opens by saying that if the documents requested on Form 886-H-EIC (sp) are not available, the list below names other documents.

The list has nine items, from a statement from the Indian Health Services business offices and copies of tribal enrollment records to a HUD housing assignment document, TANF and a food stamp application. When none of those is available, the form points to the local social welfare department for a signed or approved form that shows the child's residence, and names two examples of local forms.

The header prints the date in Spanish, "agosto de 2025", and the English footer reads Rev. 8-2025. The top has spaces for the taxpayer name, taxpayer identification number and tax year. You can fill them out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
