ITR Filing 2026: Key Checks Before Submission
The income tax return (ITR) filing deadline is coming up, and taxpayers should double-check their details before submitting.
It's important to verify personal information like PAN and Aadhaar, choose the correct ITR form, and make sure all income sources are reported.
Taxpayers should also check TDS, claim eligible deductions, and ensure bank details are accurate.
Previewing the return and e-verifying it is crucial to avoid errors and delays.
Common mistakes to avoid include selecting the wrong form, ignoring discrepancies, and not e-verifying the return.
Filing early can help avoid last-minute issues.
Verify personal details such as PAN, Aadhaar, name, date of birth, mobile number, and email address.
Ensure the correct ITR form is selected based on the nature of income.
Reconcile income with Form 16, Form 26AS, AIS, and TIS to avoid discrepancies.
Report all sources of income, including savings account interest, dividends, rental income, and capital gains.
Check TDS and tax payments, and claim eligible deductions and exemptions.
