ITAT Rulings on Tax Return Filing Issues and New Secondary Address Requirement in ITR Forms
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) addressed various taxpayer issues, including a civil contractor filing ITR-2 instead of ITR-4 and misreporting business income, leading to disputes over income estimation. In another case, ITAT ruled against tax additions based solely on a handwritten sheet found during a search, emphasizing the need for corroborative evidence. Additionally, for AY 2026-27, the Income Tax Department introduced a secondary address field across all ITR forms to improve taxpayer communication and verification.
