For the FY 2025-26 income tax returns (AY 2026-27), the filing deadline is July 31, 2026, with the portal opening on April 1. Tax experts advise filing after June 15 to avoid issues from incomplete or updated data, especially regarding stock market transactions and TDS corrections. The Income Tax Department has revised ITR forms 1, 2, 3, and 4, introducing new disclosure requirements for long-term capital gains, buyback losses, futures and options trading, intraday trading, foreign assets, and other high-value transactions to improve reporting and simplify filing.
