Income Tax Return Filing Documents Checklist

Organise income, tax-credit, investment and financial information before preparing an individual or business income-tax return.

A complete set of records helps select the appropriate return form and report income, deductions and taxes consistently.

Basic and tax-credit information

  • PAN, Aadhaar, bank-account details and prior-year return
  • Form 26AS, Annual Information Statement and Taxpayer Information Summary
  • Advance-tax, self-assessment-tax and TDS certificates

Salary, house property and other income

  • Form 16 and salary statements
  • Rent, housing-loan interest and property-related details
  • Bank interest, dividends and other income records

Business or professional income

  • Sales, purchase and expense records
  • Bank statements, ledgers and cash records
  • GST information, fixed-asset details, loans and capital balances

Review information before filing

Reconcile reported income with available tax statements and financial records. Return-form selection and tax treatment depend on the taxpayer’s facts and the applicable rules for the assessment year.
