Common Mistakes in Income Tax Filing—How to Avoid Them

Filing income tax returns can be challenging, especially if you’re unfamiliar with tax regulations. Simple mistakes can lead to unnecessary penalties or delays. Here are the most common errors to watch out for and how Taxla Services can help you avoid them:

1. Providing Incorrect Personal Details

Mistakes in your name, address, PAN, or bank details can result in rejections or delays. Always double-check the accuracy of these details.

2. Choosing the Wrong Tax Payment Form

Different income sources require specific tax forms. Using the incorrect form can complicate your filing process.

3. Selecting the Incorrect Assessment Year

Filing for the wrong assessment year can lead to incorrect tax calculations.

4. Failing to Report All Sources of Income

Income from multiple sources, such as interest, freelance work, or rental properties, should not be omitted. Underreporting income could trigger penalties.

5. Delaying or Not Filing Returns on Time

Filing after the deadline can lead to hefty penalties and loss of certain benefits.

6. Not Maintaining Proper Records

Keep a well-organized record of receipts, proofs, and other documents for future reference.

7. Discrepancies Between Reported Income and Form 26AS/Form 16

Ensure your declared income matches the details in Form 26AS and Form 16 to avoid scrutiny by the Income Tax Department.

8. Misinterpreting Deductions and Credits

Incorrectly claiming deductions under sections like 80C or 80D can result in rejected claims.
