🚨 ITR Utilities Are Live for AY 2026-27
Don't Rush. File the Right Return.
The Income Tax Department has released ITR utilities for AY 2026-27.
Before filing, don't ask "Is the utility available?"
Ask yourself, "Am I using the correct ITR form?"
Which ITR Should You Choose?
ITR-1: Salary, pension, eligible house property & other income.
ITR-2: Capital gains, foreign assets, income beyond ITR-1.
ITR-3: Business, profession, F&O trading.
ITR-4: Presumptive taxation under 44AD, 44ADA & 44AE.
Common Mistake
Many taxpayers choose the simplest ITR instead of the correct one.
This can lead to notices, defective returns and unnecessary compliance.

Form 26AS

Final Thought
