  • ITR-2: For individuals and HUFs with income from capital gains, foreign assets, or more than one house property.
  • ITR-3: For business owners, professionals, and partners in firms.
  • ITR-4 (Sugam): For presumptive income taxpayers (small businesses, professionals, and freelancers).

Why Is ITR Filing Important?

  • Legal Compliance: Filing your ITR is not just a choice; it’s a legal obligation. The Income Tax Act mandates that eligible taxpayers must submit their returns annually.
