Choose How You Want to File Your Income-tax Return
1. Upload Form 16 and File Your ITR
Choose this method if you are a salaried taxpayer and have received Form 16 from your employer. You can upload Form 16 on myITreturn and use the available details to prepare your return.
2. File Your ITR Without Form 16
Choose this method if Form 16 is unavailable or if you need to enter your salary, interest, deductions, tax payments and other information manually.
3. File Your ITR Using Prefilled Income Tax Data
Choose this method to import available prefilled information from the Income Tax Department. The imported data may include personal details, income information, TDS, tax payments and bank details.
Review the imported information carefully and add any missing income, deductions or transactions before submitting your return.
Which ITR Filing Method Should You Choose?
| Your situation | Recommended filing method |
|---|---|
| You have received Form 16 from your employer | Upload Form 16 |
| Form 16 is unavailable or your details must be entered manually | File without Form 16 |
| You want to import available Income Tax Department information | File using prefilled data |
What Should You Check Before Filing Your ITR?
Regardless of the filing method selected, review the following information before submitting your return:
- Personal and contact details
- Salary and other income
- Interest earned from bank accounts and deposits
- Income reported in Form 26AS and AIS
- TDS, TCS and tax-payment details
- Deductions and exemptions
- Selected tax regime
- Bank account and refund details
- Applicable ITR form and return type
Important: Form 16 and prefilled data may not contain every income, deduction or financial transaction. You are responsible for reviewing the information and adding any missing details before filing.
Complete Your Income-tax Return Filing
After entering or importing your information, review the tax computation and pay any outstanding tax, if applicable.
Submit the return after confirming that all information is complete and correct. Once the return is filed, complete e-verification within the applicable time limit.
Remember: Your Income-tax Return filing is not complete until the return has been successfully verified.
