Filing of income tax returns online is very easy and free, especially for salaried people
Most of us are so busy in our daily activities that we hardly get time to take care of our finances. We also find it difficult to submit our income-tax returns before the due date. In order to meet the deadline of filing our income-tax return, most of us hire the services of a chartered accountant or tax consultant. However, no one knows your finances and income better than you so why let anyone else file your tax returns?
Individuals prefer to file their tax return through experienced accountants or professionals due to lack of knowledge or the fear of making mistakes. The below article provides the basics of electronic tax return filing that could help you complete the process on your own.
Register yourself
Filing of income tax returns online is very easy and free, especially for salaried people. First-time users need to register their permanent account number (PAN) in the tax website to do the filing. For registration, please have the PAN card handy, log-on to www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in, click register yourself and submit your basic details.
Fill the right IT return form
The Form ITR-1, also known as Sahaj, is a simple form for individuals who have income from salaries plus one house property and other sources. Choose the appropriate form depending on your source of income. Generally, you need a copy of the Form 16 from your employer, Form 16A from bank, investment and proofs for deduction (if you have not exhausted your deduction limit and not claimed in your Form 16) besides bank account details (account number and IFSC code of the bank).
You have two options for filing the tax return it could either be in a quick filing mode or the normal longer process. Quick e-file option requires no download of software/form and can be filled like any online registration form.
In the normal longer process, you can download the pre-filled applicable return form, complete the remaining required fields, validate the data and verify the tax calculation using the inbuilt options.
