7 Common Mistakes in Income Tax Return

Every year, 31st July is the last date to file your Income Tax Return for previous Financial Year. It is equally important as your birthday or anniversary date.  I remember 10 year ago it was next to impossible to file Income Tax return without any help but Income Tax Department has done a commendable job to simplify the Income Tax Return Process. E-filing of income tax return through official portal of Income Tax Department is very easy, convenient & most important it’s FREE. To avoid last minute rush, i always file my income tax return in the month of May or June. I keep receiving queries from my readers on Income tax return. For the benefit of my readers, i will highlight some of the common mistakes committed by the tax payer while filing income tax return. Hope this post will help you while filing your Income Tax Return error free.

ITR Form

This is most common mistake while filing Income Tax Return. ITR 1 (Sahej) is default choice for filing Income Tax Return. Any wrong selection of ITR may result in rejection of Income Tax Return. To select right ITR form, Click Here for description of each ITR form. To share example, One of my reader had income only from Salary and last year he filed ITR 1 which got rejected. Reason for rejection was that his exempt income exceeded Rs 5000. As per CBDT, it is mandatory to use ITR 2 instead of ITR 1 if exempt income exceed Rs 5000. On close scrutiny, i observed that he received Rs 75000 as  money back from Insurance policy which was exempted but not declared in Income Tax Return.  The definition of exempt income is not clearly defined whether it include allowances received by employee e.g. HRA, LTA, Medical etc or not. Another school of thought is that exempt income only include Tax Free income from PPF, Dividends, Agricultural Income, Insurance Policy, EPF withdrawal etc. Whatever be the interpretation,  It is important to select right ITR form to avoid rejection of Income Tax Return.

Mandatory E-filing for Income more than Rs 5 Lakh

Tay Payer earning more than 5 lakh during FY should e-file Income Tax Return. In such cases, Physical return will be rejected by the Income Tax Department. E-filing is very convenient and processing is also fast.

Reconciliation of TDS

One of the most common mistake while filing Income Tax Return. Tax Payer file Income Tax Return without TDS reconciliation. TDS details are available in form 26AS. To check tax credit statement or form 26AS, follow these simple steps

1. Visit https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/

2. Register and Log in

3. Click on “View Form 26AS (Tax Credit)” on LHS Bar.

4. You will will be redirected to the TDS-CPC website to view form 26AS (Tax Credit Statement). This site is also known as TRACES (TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System)

Reconciliation with Form 26AS is very critical as TDS details are lifeline of your income tax return. Any mismatch in the details provided in Income Tax Return and Form 26AS may invite notice from income tax department or refund can be rejected. Most common example is TDS on Bank FD’s. Banks deduct TDS @ 10% but if the Tax Payer is in higher income tax bracket i.e. 20% or 30% then balance tax should be deposited as self assessment tax. Most of the tax payer don’t pay balance tax on income from Bank FD’s. In such a scenario, Be ready for notice from Income Tax Department.

No Tax Dues, No Income Tax Return

This misconception is mostly among salaried class. Tax Payer think that as his or her employer has deducted TDS therefore all taxes are paid on time and there is no income tax due from his or her end. He need not to file Income Tax Return as the tax is already paid through TDS on salary. Please note, Income Tax Return should be filed even if all the taxes are paid on time through TDS.

Confusion between Assessment Year and Financial Year

One of my reader Gunjan Raheja wrote to me that Income Tax Department has rejected her Income Tax Return. When i closely scrutinized her return, i observed that she entered wrong Assessment Year while filing Income Tax Return. Many tax payers get confused between Assessment Year and Financial Year. Basis thumb rule is that Financial Year is the year in which income is earned for which you are filing the Income Tax Return is filed and Assessment Year is the year in which you are filing the return. This year, a tax payer is filing Income Tax Return for Financial Year (FY) 2013-14 & Assessment Year (AY) is 2014-15.

Signed ITR V Acknowledgement

If you are e-filing Income Tax Return without digital signature then it is mandatory to take a print out of ITR V Acknowledgement, sign it and send it to CPC – Bangalore. ITR V should reach CPC Bangalore within 120 days of e-filing the return. Don’t send ITR V through courier, it will not be accepted. You can send ITR V acknowledgement only through Ordinary Post or Speed Post. It is advisable to send through Speed Post so that you can keep track.

Bank Details in ITR

It is mandatory to provide correct Bank Details in ITR specially if you are expecting Refund. Even if there is No Refund still provide correct information on bank account. You never know, you might have paid excess tax and IT department will issue refund. You should provide only your bank details in ITR. In one of the instance, one of my reader provided his bank account details in his wife’s Income Tax Return. Now his wife is struggling to get the refund.

I have tried to cover all the common mistakes in Income Tax Return which can be easily avoided. You may post your queries related Income Tax Return in following comments section. You can share this post with your friends and family members through following social media icons.

Last but not the least, Don’t forget to file your Income Tax Return before 31st July !!! As a responsible citizen we should pay our taxes & file Income Tax Return on time.

Hi Nitin, I have a confusion on ITR-1 tax calculation. My taxable salary is less than 5 lakh which is allowed Rs 2000 tax rebate. My employer applied Rs 2000 rebate from the overall tax before calculating education cess. However, ITR-1 excel sheet in income tax website calculates tax and education cess before applying Rs 2000 rebate. Can you suggest which one is correct? If my employer is incorrect, should i pay excess Rs 70 tax to income tax?

Nitin Bhatia

Reply to  Raja

Your employer is correct. Rebate of 2000 Rs should be deducted from Gross/total tax Payable before calculating education cess i.e. education cess should be calculated on net tax payable after adjusting rebate of Rs 2000.

Good Afternoon,
One of my client is working with an organization & received Form 16 from its two sister concern,one before due date having refund and another after the due date having refund, the ITR was filed for one before due date and refund was claimed for excess tax deduction, for which he have received the refund from the IT dept. now for the another Form 16 was received on 01.10.2015 having refund, and now after clubbing the two concern’s income, there is shown a increased tax liability, Hence, please suggest the solution for the same, should he revise the IT return after paying the increased tax liability and what about the refund he has already received for the first sister concern for which the ITR was filed before due date.

Hello Sir,
While filling the details in ITR-1, I filled only 80C section and TDS sections, but did not fill all the income details of Form16. while calculating tax it did not show up any discrepancies (sheet is Ok popup). As the tax paid calculations was same as per the TDS deducted amount.

After uploading the xml, in the acknowledgement received (ITRV), i could see that refund as same as TDS amount. Can you pls help me if this correct?

If wrong, can i correct and upload it again?
Also do i need to mention all the details of the form16 details in ITR?

Thanks!!!

Reply to  Neeraj Patil

First you should check form 26AS for all TDS details & match with ITR. Secondly, it seems either you paid more tax or less tax. Your ITR form should exactly match with Form 16 and all the details in relevant columns should match including all income details as declared in form 16. Last possibility is that while filing return, the system pre-fill TDS details and if you again entered TDS details manually then Tax paid will be double therefore system will show refund equal to TDS paid.

If it is wrong then you can correct and file the revised income tax return u/s 139(5)

Don’t worry. IT department will reconcile your tax details with form 26AS and will issue refund of Rs 1527 only instead of Rs 1530. I will not recommend to file revised return just to correct this error.

Hi,

I am moving to Abu Dhabi (UAE) in mid-October 2014. I have
certain queries regarding Income Tax.

1) Will I qualify as NRI in this 2014-15 financial year (FY)? If not when will I be so? In October 2015?

2) If not NRI, will I have to pay income tax in India this FY including the salary I will get in UAE (as income in UAE is tax-free)? If so, is there any other legal way to avoid or minimize tax on salary income outside India in this FY?

3) Will I have to intimate or inform Income Tax dept that I am moving out of India? If so, how and when?

I am really confused regarding this.

Please help.

Thanks.

During Financial year i.e. from 1st April, 2014 to 31st March, 2015 if you stay in India for more than 182 days then you will be considered as Resident Indian for tax purpose. For detailed answer, i suggest you to check with CA as more details are required e.g. type of employment VISA, your current sources of income etc.

Hi

I’ve submitted my e-returns for ay 2013-14 on time and got refund also. But later i found that i missed to declare income from other sources and TDS. I’ve paid an excess tax of around 25k. Some people commented that revised return can be filed before the end of one year of assessment year or assessment by CPC whichever is earlier. But i revised my ITR electronically this November and sent revised ITR-V to CPC and got an acknowledgment for receipt. The current status of ITR is under processing. Pls let me know if i’ll get refund or it ‘ll be rejected. Do i have to send original ITR-V along with revised one?

Dear Sir,

If an assessee has filed his return of Income for A.Y. 14-15 in wrong section like he was required to file u/s 139(1) whereas wrongly selected “in response to notice u/s 148”, now the return has been transferred by the CPC to Local AO, Now i want to ask you what are the options available to assessee, since refund is due in that return and income is not chargeable to tax i.e. not exceeding the maximum exemption slab of Rs. 2.5 lac

Filing of ITR 1 or ITR 2 depend on your source of income. It is not mandatory that if you are filing ITR 2 in past then you should continue filing ITR 2. Normally ITR 2 is filed if you have income from capital gain / more than one house property / foreign assets.

If ITR 2 is applicable in your case then you can file revised return u/s 139(5) subject to certain conditions.

Dear Nitin Bhatia,

I had collected AO related data six months ago and used it to file my wife’s return a few days ago. Now I find this has changed. Should I do a revised filing?

I had 5 past returns pending for various reasons. I have figured out the problem in 3 of them. I was not able to get into the request rectification. I quoted the notification numbers correctly. It still did not allow me access. I requested for reissue of notification for the three ITRs. I got back one notification where they could not process refund. I have responded to this by providing required bank details. For the other two, I am still unable to access using the notification number. I am also not getting a resent notification from the department.

Sir, Unfortunately i have filed wrong ITR, Instead of ITR 2, I filed ITR 1. Can I file ITR 2 as revised return quickly ? Are there any implications ?

The tax website I was using at the last moment was not working. So I quickly downloaded ITR 1 and filed it, because the numbers some how matched as in my form 16. only to realise later that i had filed it incorrectly.

Kindly suggest the best course of action

I have filed FY 2014-15 ITR return on 31st August 2015 on time and received ITR V PDF from Income tax dept. but when I was reviewing ITR1 form in the income tax portal, it is showing as RETURN FILED UNDER SECTION 12 – AFTER DUE DATE 139(4) may be I have selected wrong option.

Will there be any issue in this case? If yes how to resolve this. Please help.

Thanks for clarifying in advance.

This option must have been selected by you while filing ITR. You can rectify the same online.

You need not send physical ack but need to mention details of original return in revised return.

Hello Sir, I have filed ITR for 2015-16, and did a mistake on filling income details, accedentiliy I filled incorrect amount in 80C section and in online ITR Form it was showing Refund. So I selected option ‘Refund’ then submitted and e-verified successfully. But after 2 days i had doubt so I checked and then filed a Revised return by correcting the mistak. Now, even after I filed a revised return, CPC has submitted the Refund to my bank account by processing the ORIGINAL ITR. Ideally there should not be any refund.
Hope there should not be any problem, What can I do for it? How can I return this refund to Incom tax department?

Revised Return can only be filed till it is be assessed. This time IT department is processing refunds at very fast pace. You may approach your assessing officer to check the same.

.After the taxes are paid through Challan 280,i got a counter foil as acknowledgement for the taxes paid. Receipt has details of person paying the tax, amount, type of payment etc and Challan Identification Number (CIN) . It says i have to do the following things. The challan identification number has to be cited in the return of income as of tax payment. CIN can also be cited in any further queries about the tax payment. But I cant figure out how to efile it now. and where to enter the details of the challan in the revised return.

I don’t suggest Cash Payment in property transaction. Cash Payment is linked to circulation of black money. You need to declare this property in your ITR.

You need not worry if all the taxes are paid. You should check the IT notice and follow the instructions. A late filing penalty of Rs 5000 can be imposed.
