Unfortunately, tags are not included in the snapshot data as part of the rds:DescribeDbSnapshots API command. Instead, you would use the rds:ListTagsForResource API command. As part of the command, you would specify the ARN of the snapshot you are interested in.

Using the AWS CLI, that would look like this:

aws rds list-tags-for-resource \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --resource-name arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:<account>:snapshot:rds:<snapshot-id>

Reference: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/rds/list-tags-for-resource.html

Update after comments

Since describe-db-snapshots does not support filtering, you cannot filter the results based on tags. Instead, you must do the following:

  1. Use describe-db-snapshots to get a complete list of snapshots.
  2. For each snapshot returned, use list-tags-for-resource to get the tags. You can use the --query parameter to limit the results of the tags.
  3. Conditionally, based on the results from list-tags-for-resource include or exclude your snapshot from your list of snapshots you care about.

If you check the AWS CLI documentation for the RDS command, you'll notice (in section for describe-db-snapshots subcommand):

--filters (list)

This parameter is not currently supported.

You'll be able to pipe the output without filters to a custom script, and filter there.
