Compare ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3, ITR-4, ITR-5, ITR-6, ITR-7 and ITR-U for AY 2026-27 with documents, schedules, deadlines, and CA-assisted filing paths.

Match the ITR form to the taxpayer facts

The form selector helps taxpayers decide whether a simple salary return is enough or whether facts such as capital gains, business income, foreign assets, multiple properties, or carried-forward losses require another ITR form.

  • Use ITR-1 only when eligibility fits
  • Move to ITR-2 or ITR-3 when facts require it

Connect form choice to evidence

Choose the form after checking Form 16, AIS, Form 26AS, broker statements, bank interest, and deduction proofs. Capital gains, business income, foreign assets, multiple properties, or carried-forward losses can change the required form.

  • Review income heads before filing
  • Ask for CA review when records conflict
