Now file ITR-2 online with pre-filled data: A big relief for THESE taxpayers
If you’ve been waiting to file your income tax return (ITR) under Form ITR-2, here’s some good news. The Income Tax Department has finally activated ITR-2 for online filing with pre-filled data. That means salaried taxpayers, homeowners with multiple properties, and people with capital gains can now file their returns more easily, without downloading Excel files or struggling with manual uploads.
The Income Tax Department shared an update on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), “Kind Attention Taxpayers! Income Tax Return Form of ITR-2 is now enabled for filing through online mode with pre-filled data at the e-filing portal.”
What has changed?
Until now, only ITR-1 and ITR-4 were available for online filing. ITR-2 and ITR-3 Excel utilities, however, were released last week after almost 100 days of delay. People eligible for ITR-2 now will have option to file return online with pre-filled data also along with an option to download Excel utility and upload it after filling out.
