Income Tax E-Filing: AY 2026-27 and New Act Transition

Start by reviewing your income sources and filing history. We help identify the correct return and an appropriate service plan. Individual filing plans exclude company or institutional work unless a separate scope is agreed.

TaxQue helps identify the filing purpose, return or statutory form, required records and current portal steps, then prepares a reviewable draft for authorised submission. Tax payments, verification and any response must follow the form and portal guidance for the applicable year.

What is Income Tax E-Filing?

Income tax e-filing is the online submission of an income-tax return, statutory form, payment, correction or response through the Income Tax Department portal. The correct process depends on the tax period and filing purpose. AY 2026-27 covers FY 2025-26 under the Income-tax Act, 1961; Tax Year 2026-27 covers income from 1 April 2026 under the Income Tax Act, 2025.

Income Tax E-Filing — Income Tax Return E-Filing & Assessment in India — TaxQue

Two tax-law frameworks: The portal continues to support returns and proceedings for earlier years under the 1961 Act while enabling Tax Year 2026-27 compliance under the 2025 Act. Select the correct AY or Tax Year.

Deadlines vary by obligation: Return, audit report, statutory form, tax payment and notice-response deadlines are separate. For AY 2026-27, Circular 07/2026 extended the due date for the specified audited category; confirm exact applicability.

Verify and retain filing evidence: Complete required e-verification and preserve the acknowledgement, payment receipt and portal status. An unverified return or missed notice deadline can have separate consequences under law.

Use current official instructions

Forms, validations, payment codes and dates differ by tax year, filing category and purpose. Check official notifications and notices before submission. The Department processes returns and determines refunds, adjustments, demands and notices.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about Income Tax E-Filing

Our automated income assessment and CA review analyze your sources of income—including salary, house property, business profits, stock/crypto capital gains, and foreign assets—to match you with the exact statutory ITR form (ITR-1 through ITR-7). This prevents Section 139(9) defective return notices.

Generic DIY portals rely on automated algorithms that often miss eligible deductions (80D, 80G, HRA, home loan interest), miscalculate F&O turnovers, and fail to reconcile AIS/TIS data. At TaxQue, every single return is reviewed and authorized by a practicing Chartered Accountant to maximize refunds and ensure 100% audit protection.

For salaried and other non-business individuals, the deadline is 31st July. For business/professional income without audit (including presumptive cases), it is 31st August. For companies and tax-audit cases it is 31st October (extended to 21st November 2026 for AY 2026-27, with the audit report due 21st October 2026). Belated returns can be filed until 31st December.

Filing after 31st July attracts a late fee of up to ₹5,000 under Section 234F (₹1,000 for income below ₹5 Lakhs), 1% monthly interest on unpaid taxes under Section 234A, and loss of the right to carry forward most losses, such as business and capital losses (house-property loss and unabsorbed depreciation can still be carried forward).

Your return is assigned to a dedicated Tax Filing Specialist and reviewed by an experienced Chartered Accountant. You can chat with your CA directly to resolve complex income queries or discuss tax optimization strategies.
