At Power of Factorial Business Solutions, we make tax filing effortless. Here’s a comprehensive step-by-step guide to help you file your income tax online smoothly.

Step 1: Gather All Necessary Documents

Before starting, keep these essential documents ready to ensure accuracy and avoid delays:

  • PAN Card and Aadhaar Card

  • Form 16 (for salaried employees)

  • Bank account details

  • Investment proofs for deductions (under Section 80C, 80D, etc.)

  • TDS certificates

  • Details of other income such as rent, interest, or dividends

Having everything prepared saves time during the online filing process.

Step 2: Register or Log in to the Income Tax e-Filing Portal

Visit the official Income Tax e-Filing Portal and log in using your PAN (as your user ID) and password.
If you’re filing for the first time, click “Register” and follow the simple steps to create your account.

Step 3: Choose the Correct ITR Form

Choosing the right ITR form is crucial for accurate filing.

Types of ITR Forms

  • ITR-1 (Sahaj) – For individuals with income up to ₹50 lakh (salary/pension/interest income)

  • ITR-3 – For professionals or business owners with income from business or profession
