Income Tax Return Filing For Salaried Persons | Online Process

An income tax return is the tax form/forms which individuals use to file income tax with the Income Tax Department. The income tax return is mostly in a worksheet format where the income tax figures used to calculate the tax liability are noted down into the documents themselves. According to the law, income tax returns have to be filed each year by individuals and businesses who received any income during that year. The income tax return also has to be filed within a specific date. If the income tax return shows that extra tax has been paid during the given year, then the assessee is eligible for a tax refund, subject to the department’s discretion. In this blog, we will show how you can do your income tax return filing on your own, without the help of a Chartered Accountant.
