10 Common ITR Filing Errors That May Invite Penalties or Tax Notices
Submitting an inaccurate Income Tax Return (ITR) can result in financial penalties, official tax notices, and hold-ups in receiving your refunds. Frequent errors to watch out for include missing the filing cutoff, failing to disclose your full income, depending solely on Form 16, or selecting the incorrect tax regime or ITR form. Additionally, taxpayers often face issues by claiming invalid deductions, overlooking discrepancies between their AIS/Form 26AS and their return, filing revised returns too late, omitting certain income sources, providing wrong bank account information, or neglecting to verify their ITR once it has been submitted.
