Practical process before hiring
Classify income
Identify salary, business, profession, capital gains, house property, foreign income and other income correctly.
Reconcile portal data
Compare AIS, TIS and Form 26AS with your own records before final computation.
Choose ITR and regime
Select the correct ITR form and compare old versus new tax regime where relevant.
File and preserve proof
File with correct schedules, verify the return and keep workings for future notice or revision.

Common red flags and mistakes
- Ignoring AIS/TIS data while using only Form 16.
- Forgetting bank interest, freelance income or capital gains.
- Choosing the wrong ITR form.
- Claiming deductions without proof.
- Filing close to deadline without reviewing refund bank account and tax credit.
What to mention when you post
- Assessment year and income type.
- Whether the return is fresh, revised, belated or under notice.
- AIS/Form 26AS mismatch details, if any.
- Approximate income sources and capital gains count.
- Deadline or refund/demand urgency.
How to choose the right professional
- Ask if the expert reviews AIS/TIS and Form 26AS before filing.
- Confirm experience with your income type, not only salary ITR.
- Check whether tax regime comparison is included.
- Ask for fee breakup for filing, computation and notice follow-up.
- Keep the final computation and acknowledgement after filing.
Extra checks before you finalise
- Check whether the expert will review income category-wise instead of entering only one number from Form 16 or a bank statement.
- Ask how they will handle AIS transactions that belong to another year, joint holding, duplicate entries or already-reported income.
- For refund cases, confirm that bank pre-validation, ITR verification and tax credit matching are part of the filing checklist.
