What is ITR?

An Income Tax Return (ITR) is a document used by taxpayers to report details about their income earned and the corresponding tax liability to the income tax department. It serves as a formal declaration of an individual or entity's financial information, ensuring transparency and compliance with tax regulations. The ITR landscape includes seven different forms: ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3, ITR-4, ITR-5, ITR-6, and ITR-7. Each taxpayer is required to file their ITR on or before the specified due date.
