The answer to this question depends on who you ask, so there are a couple dates for corresponding different reasons:
July 2, 1776 Lee Resolution that declared American Independence
July 4, 1776 ratification of the Declaration by the Continental Congress
August 10, 1776 Britain finds out of the Declaration; they send troops soon after
September 3, 1783 Signing of the Treaty of Paris which ends the American Revolutionary War
November 25, 1783 Last British Troops Leave American territory
January 14, 1784 Ratification of the Treaty of Paris by the US Congress
So which is the real answer? You decide!

The USA declared it's independence from England on July 4, 1776. The last major battle was at Yorktown in1781 with the surrender of Cornwallis. Peace negotiations began in Paris, France in 1782 and the Continental Congress approved the final treaty on April 15, 1783.

The Declaration was made and signed in 1776, but the revolutionary war lasted from 1775 to 1783. So we did not actually win independence in 1776, rather we declared it in 1776.

if you mean when did we win the war, then it wasn't 1776. We declared our independence by August 1776 (when the last person signed the declaration) but if you mean when did we win the war, that was 1783.
The British surrendered at Yorktown in 1781, and they recognized the US as an independent nation in 1783 after signing the Treaty of Paris.
