It is important to note that not all taxpayers can file their income tax returns using the notified forms. Depending upon the source and nature of income, the income tax department comes up with different forms. There are eligibility conditions associated with each form that a taxpayer must satisfy to be eligible to file their income tax returns using the currently notified ITR forms.
There is a major change in the ITR forms this year. Earlier, ITR 1 did not have a provision to report capital gain tax, which has changed this year. If you have long-term capital gains from the sale of listed equity shares and equity-oriented mutual funds, then from this year, you can use ITR-1 to file tax return. Till previous years, taxpayers having any capital gains were not allowed to file a tax return using the ITR-1 form. They were required to file their tax returns using ITR-2 form.
As the government has notified the ITR-1 and ITR-4 forms today, it is expected that soon other income tax returns will also be notified and utilities for all the tax return forms will be also be made available to the taxpayers. This will enable the taxpayers to file their tax returns and claim income tax refund, as the case maybe.
