Form 8453 (sp): Individual Income Tax Declaration for IRS e-file, Spanish Version

Form 8453 (sp), Informe del Impuesto sobre el Ingreso Personal de los Estados Unidos por Medio de la Presentación Electrónica del IRS e-file, is the Spanish version of Form 8453 for 2025. The IRS listing calls it U.S. Individual Income Tax Declaration for an IRS e-file Return. The form and its instructions on page 2 are in Spanish, while several of the attached form titles stay in English with a Spanish translation in parentheses.

The IRS About page says taxpayers and electronic return originators (EROs) use Form 8453 to send any required paper forms or supporting documentation listed next to the checkboxes on the front of the form, and not to send Forms W-2, W-2G or 1099-R. The form says it is filed only when one or more of the listed forms or documents are attached, and that it is not signed.

The English edition is Form 8453. You can fill out Form 8453 (sp) free in your browser on this page and download it without an account.
