Income Tax Department Details ITR Forms and Filing Options for FY 2025-26
The Income Tax Department offers seven distinct ITR forms tailored to various income types and taxpayer categories, including salaried individuals, business owners, and senior citizens. For FY 2025-26, online filing for ITR-1, ITR-2, and ITR-4 is available, while ITR-3 remains inactive. Senior citizens with only pension or specified interest income can use simplified filing options, but additional income sources require other forms. The new tax regime applies uniformly, with no separate exemption benefits for seniors.
