steps in the app
When we have identified ourselves correctly, the session is started in the Tax Agency app. Once this session has started in the app, we will be asked to modify or confirm our fiscal address. Then some data appears on the screen, so our task is to either confirm that this data is correct or correct it and put the correct information. When we have done this we will return to the home screen of the application. This is the time when we are finally going to be allowed to file that statement over the phone. The steps that we will have to follow for this are the following:
- Click on the first option on the home page, what is rent (the year in question whose declaration you must make is indicated).
- A new menu opens on the screen. In this menu click on the option Processing of draft / declaration.
- If you are married and you are going to file a joint return, the app will ask you to identify your spouse, so you will have to add information about this person. If you want, the app allows you to also choose the Individual calculation option. Each one will be able to choose the desired option in this regard and once these data have been entered, click on continue.
- A summary appears on the screen below. of your declaration with the result of the same, that is to say, if it is to pay or to return. Additional data will also appear, such as your name, the autonomous community in which you reside, payment details and contributions. After this data, on the screen we have a total of three options available:
- If we want to modify the declaration we have to click on Modify declaration (web). By doing this, the web version of the AEAT virtual office will open so that we can make the changes.
- PDF preview It then allows us to see the draft of our income tax return in a PDF file, which we can download if we want, in case we want to review it before sending.

If everything was correct and we have clicked on the Submit tax return button, the app will ask us to verify this decision at that time. On screen we will simply have to confirm this decision that we are making. Next, the draft of the income tax return will appear on the screen. In addition to this, we will also get a verification code (CSV), which is what will help us to check the status of the processing of said declaration.
In addition, the app also let us click on the option ‘See filed tax return’. When we use this option, a PDF file with your declaration will be opened. This is so that you can save your tax return on your mobile, print it or share it with other applications, since we are also allowed to send it by email, for example. So we have that proof that we have made the declaration or if we need that document.
Tips
As you can see, the process of creating and filing the return of income on Android is not too complex. In addition, the process itself will not take too long, which is another aspect that makes more and more people bet on using the app on their phone. Of course, it is important that we do not make mistakes when we are doing this, since many times we do not realize some mistakes or we try to do everything too quickly.
It is important to take the time when we are making the declaration. Check that all the data on the screen is correct. There are times when there is a data that is wrong, which affects our statement. So it is good to take that time to see that our data is correct, as well as the data of our spouse, for example, if we are filing a joint income tax return. Since this declaration is something that affects two people, so it is even more important to check that all the data is correct and that it can be sent. If it is a joint declaration, it is best that both of you go to consult the data. It’s easier to see failure if you both go back to see this statement.
The changes are something that can be applied from the web version. When we click on the Modify declaration option in the app, the web version will open on the screen. You will then be able to make those changes to the draft. So if you have noticed that there was some incorrect data or that something was missing, make use of said function so that this declaration is then complete. Then you will be able to click on send once you agree with all the data and the result of it. Thus we have finished this process that we have carried out in its entirety on our Android mobile.
