Form 886-H-DEP (SP): Supporting Documents for Dependency Exemptions, Spanish Version

Form 886-H-DEP (SP) is the Spanish version of Form 886-H-DEP. Its Spanish title is "Documentos de Apoyo para las Exenciones de la Dependencia", Supporting Documents for Dependency Exemptions. It is a two-page IRS list, written in Spanish, of the photocopies to send as proof for a dependent claimed on a return.

The top of page 1 has spaces for the taxpayer name, taxpayer identification number and tax year. Three tables match each case (a parent who is divorced, legally separated or living apart, a qualifying child, or a qualifying relative) with the documents the form asks for. Page 2 lists proof that the taxpayer provided more than half of the dependent's total support.

The header prints the date in Spanish, "octubre de 2019", the English footer reads Rev. 10-2019, and the tables refer to 2019. You can fill in the header free in your browser on this page and download the form without an account.
