If you are a salaried individual and filing a tax return is a headache for you, there is some good news in store for you. To make the tax filing process easier for individuals, this year the income tax department will be providing ITR-1 form pre-filled with your salary, FD interest income and TDS details.
Earlier these details were required to be manually entered by an individual in the form. These details will be pre-filled in ITR-1 only for forms filled online. The software will use your PAN to pick these details from Form 26AS, the TDS return filed by your employer and your last year’s ITR. These fields are editable and you will be able to correct the figure in case of any mismatch.
