Experts Advise Waiting to File Income Tax Returns for AY 2026-27 Until June 15

The income tax filing season for AY 2026-27 has begun with the release of ITR-1 and ITR-4 utilities, prompting many taxpayers to consider early submission. However, experts advise caution as key financial data such as TDS filings, AIS, and Form 26AS may be incomplete early in the season. Premature filing could result in mismatches, notices, or the need for revised returns, especially for salaried individuals with multiple income sources. Waiting until closer to the June 15 deadline allows for more accurate and comprehensive reporting.
