Form 8862 (SP) – Fillable PDF for Claiming Tax Credits

Form 8862 (SP) – "Información para reclamar ciertos créditos después de una denegación" – is the Spanish version of the IRS form used when a taxpayer wants to claim credits that were previously disallowed. It covers the Earned Income Credit (EIC), Child Tax Credit (CTC), American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) and other important credits.

What Is Form 8862 (SP)?

This form tells the IRS that you now meet all eligibility requirements for the credits you are re‑claiming. You must file it with your tax return for the year you are correcting the earlier denial.

How to Complete Form 8862 (SP) Online

Instead of printing and filling out a paper copy, you can use Formize’s built‑in PDF filler:

  1. Click the **"Fill out this form"** button on this page.
  2. Wait a few seconds while the Formize PDF Filler app loads the fillable version of Form 8862 (SP).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Skipping Part IV (AOTC) questions. The IRS requires detailed answers for each student you are claiming.
  • Incorrect residency information. Make sure the days each child lived in the U.S. are accurate.
  • Leaving blanks. Even if a question does not apply, write “N/A” to avoid processing delays.
