Tax Experts Advise Early ITR Filing to Avoid Penalties and Notices
Tax experts advise taxpayers to file Income Tax Returns (ITR) by the July 31 deadline to avoid penalties, delayed refunds, and last-minute issues. Early review of the Annual Information Statement (AIS) and Form 26AS helps identify discrepancies in income, tax deducted at source (TDS), and other financial data. Even when AIS and Form 26AS match, errors in reporting income heads, deductions, or high-value transactions may trigger tax notices. After filing, taxpayers receive a Section 143(1) intimation summarizing the tax department's preliminary processing, which should be reviewed carefully.
