This Wednesday, April 8, the Income Campaign 2025-2026. From this day, until next June 30, taxpayers will be able to submit their Personal Income Tax (IRPF) return.
Right now, the draft can be submitted online; From June 6, the ‘We Call You Plan’ will be activated (to do it by telephone with the help of AEAT staff), and from June 1, you can go in person to the Tax Agency offices, in both cases always making an appointment.
That said, there are many people who, in order to get rid of this procedure as soon as possible, or to be able to receive an “extra” if they are sure that the declaration will be returned to them, already present the draft. However, for many tax advisors, this is a mistake. Among them is the expert Sara Ferrer, who explained why in a video in the previous campaign published on her TikTok channel (‘@sarafero’).
“Income tax returns are never made in the first fortnight that the deadline opens”
For this advisor, the “number one rule” that taxpayers should know is that the Income Tax return cannot be submitted as soon as the deadline opens: “Income tax returns are never made in the first fortnight that the deadline opens, because the tax data and the data that the Tax Agency has uploaded may be erroneous.”
According to Ferrer, the “poorest ones” are “the most affected, because “the tax data and the information from the Tax Agency are being recycled.” Thus, he indicates that, in these first weeks, the AEAT system may not have all the information and is pending updating. Therefore, it is possible that the data is wrong.
Likewise, an advantage of waiting a little longer is that we have more time to check the documentation to be presented and, very importantly, review deductions carefully. In fact, when it comes to new deductions, there are even times when the boxes are not enabled to apply them.
Regarding these, it is also relevant to have the documents that prove that we are actually entitled to said deductions, since the Treasury could require justification.
