Obtaining and checking the 2024 draft tax return is an essential step to ensure that your tax return is accurate and error-free. In this article we explain step by step how to access, what to check and when to do it to avoid penalties and speed up returns.
What Is the Draft Income Tax 2024 and Why Should You Review It?
The draft income tax is a pre-filled tax return prepared by the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria) using your fiscal data: salaries, bank accounts, investments, deductions, and more. It serves as a starting point that:
- Saves time by avoiding manual data entry.
- Detects errors or missing information. (For common mistakes, see our guide on the most frequent errors when filing your tax return.)
- Allows you to know whether you are due a refund or must pay before officially filing.
From 2 April 2025, you can access the draft in the Tax Agency’s electronic office during the Renta 2024 campaign.
