Filing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This is currently one of the biggest mistakes taxpayers make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many individuals file their returns using only Form 16 without reviewing the Annual Information Statement (AIS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AIS_may_contain\"><\/span><strong>AIS may contain:<\/strong><span

mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Using ITR 1 despite having capital gains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using ITR 1 despite owning foreign assets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using ITR 4 despite being ineligible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An incorrect form can make the return defective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Not Reporting Interest Income<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Many taxpayers assume that because TDS has been deducted, interest income need not be reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Commonly missed income includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Savings account interest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixed Deposit interest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recurring Deposit interest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The income must generally be disclosed in the return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\"

report share transactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ignore mutual fund redemptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Miscalculate capital gains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fail to report property sales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3
