Income Tax Forms
Income tax forms are different from income tax returns. Income tax forms may need to be filed by a taxpayer based on the transactions and applicability of the form. In case of an online income tax form, the form can be accessed post login to the e-Filing portal. Based on the user applicability, the respective income tax forms will be made available to the assessee under their login. To file an income tax form online, visit “e-File” -> “Prepare and Submit Online Form(Other than ITR)” -> “Select the Form” -> “Select the Assessment Year” (If applicable).
If an income tax form is available as an offline form only, it can be accessed by downloading the JAVA utilities from e-Filing portal. JAVA utilities can be downloaded from e-Filing portal’s home page under “Downloads” section. The downloaded ZIP file should be extracted before opening the utility.
