Income tax return forms have already been notified for Assessment Year 2023-24 (for income earned in 2022-23). As per the modified norms, individuals on whom search and seizure operations have been carried out by tax officials can now file revised returns under section 153 C on the basis of self-assessment of their undisclosed wealth in ITR-1.
In February, CBDT also made certain changes in ITR-1 form with regard to disclosure under Section 139 (1), which is filed voluntarily by persons having annual taxable income of less than Rs 2.5 lakh. These individuals will not be required to intimate in their ITR forms even if their fixed deposits exceed Rs 1 crore.
ITR Forms FY 2022-23
ITR-1 and ITR-4 are simpler forms that cater to a large number of small and medium taxpayers.
ITR-1 can be filed by an individual having income up to Rs 50 lakh and who receives income from salary, one house property and other sources (interest, etc). ITR-4 can be filed by individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) and firms with total income up to Rs 50 lakh and having income from business and profession.
While ITR-2 is filed by people having income from residential property and having income above Rs 50 lakh, ITR-3 is filed by professionals. ITR-5 and ITR-6 are filed by LLPs and businesses.
Even though the income tax department is yet to release the online ITR forms, it has released the offline ITR-1 and ITR-4 forms for filing the income tax return (ITR) for AY 2023-24 or financial year 2022-23.
The offline ITR-1 and ITR-4 forms come after the CBDT notified the same in February.
