Which ITR should I file?
There are seven ITR forms, and filing the wrong one gets your return marked defective. Answer a few questions about who you are and where your income comes from, and this points you to the right form — with a note on what it covers.
1. Who is filing?
You just answered five questions about your own tax.
Taxlabs already knows the answers — from last year's return and the documents you upload — and files the right ITR with a CA, without the guessing.
Frequently asked
What is the difference between ITR-1 and ITR-2?
ITR-1 (Sahaj) is for resident individuals with salary or pension, one house property and other-source income, up to ₹50 lakh of total income. The moment you have capital gains, foreign income or assets, more than one house, income above ₹50 lakh, or a directorship, you move to ITR-2.
ITR-3 or ITR-4 — which one for business income?
ITR-4 (Sugam) is for presumptive taxation under 44AD, 44ADA or 44AE, where you declare a fixed percentage of turnover as income and keep no detailed books, up to ₹50 lakh of total income. If you keep regular books, or your income crosses ₹50 lakh, you file ITR-3.
Can a salaried person with capital gains file ITR-1?
No. Any capital gain — even a small one from selling listed shares or mutual funds — rules out ITR-1. A salaried person with capital gains files ITR-2 instead.
What happens if I file the wrong ITR form?
The return can be treated as defective under section 139(9). The department issues a notice giving you time to file a corrected return in the right form; if you do not respond, the return can be treated as never filed. It is easier to pick the correct form at the start.
