The problems that actually trip up salaried filers

None of these are unusual. They're also exactly where a return goes wrong if nobody's checking.

Form 16 vs AIS mismatches

Your employer's Form 16 and the tax department's AIS don't always agree — and a mismatch is one of the most common triggers for a notice.

Deductions left unclaimed

HRA, Section 80C investments, 80D health premiums — easy to miss if you're filing quickly on your own, and they add up.

Multiple employers in one year

Switched jobs mid-year? Each employer withholds tax independently, which often means the combined TDS doesn't line up with what's actually owed.

Old vs new regime confusion

The right regime depends on your actual deductions, not a rule of thumb — picking wrong can cost real money.

Interest & other income left out

Savings account interest, FD interest, small freelance income on the side — all taxable, and all easy to forget.

Not sure which ITR form applies

ITR-1 covers most salaried income, but capital gains, a second property, or foreign assets push you into ITR-2 — filing the wrong form gets it rejected as defective.

Not sure which of these apply to you? Book a consultation and we'll walk through your specific situation.

Questions

Frequently asked

01I'm salaried with a simple income — do I really need help filing?

You can file directly on the income tax portal for free, and for many salaried filers that's genuinely enough. Where we help is when your Form 16 doesn't quite match your AIS, you switched jobs mid-year, or you're unsure which deductions actually apply.

02I had two employers this year — does that change anything?

Yes — each employer deducts TDS independently, without visibility into your other income, which often means the combined tax withheld doesn't match what you actually owe. We reconcile both Form 16s before filing.

03Which ITR form applies to me?

Most salaried employees with one employer, one house property (or none), and no capital gains use ITR-1. The moment capital gains, a second property, or foreign assets are involved, ITR-2 is the correct form instead.

04Can you help me pick between the old and new tax regime?

Yes — it depends on how much you actually claim in deductions like HRA, 80C, and 80D. We run both numbers against your real situation rather than a general rule of thumb.
