ITR filing for AY 2025-26 has begun. Ensure accuracy while filing ITR to avoid tax notices and delays in refunds. Here are 6 common errors you should avoid.
Cross-check data in your Form 26AS and AIS with your ITR form. If you skip this, your income and TDS details may not match, which can cause trouble later.
Choose the correct ITR form based on your income type. Using the wrong form can make your return defective and lead to notices.
Report all income, including FD interest, rent or capital gains. Skipping any source can result in a tax notice.
Make sure your bank details are correct and pre-validated. Wrong account details can delay your income tax refund.
Filing ITR alone is not enough. You must verify your ITR after filing it correctly within 30 days or it will be treated as not filed.
You must report capital gains from shares and mutual funds. Ignoring this can lead to incorrect tax calculations and notices.
Errors in ITR filing often result in delays, rejections, or tax notices. A complete and accurate return ensures timely processing and avoids complications.
