"Which ITR should I file?" — the question every Indian taxpayer Googles, answered in 30 seconds
Every filing season, the same scene plays out across India.
You sit down to file your return, open the income tax portal, and hit the very first wall: ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3 or ITR-4?
So you Google it. And you find a maze of eligibility tables — income thresholds, capital gains exceptions, presumptive taxation clauses, "resident but not ordinarily resident" footnotes. Twenty minutes later, you're less sure than when you started.
Here's the thing: picking the wrong form isn't a small mistake. A return filed on the wrong ITR can be treated as defective, which means notices, re-filing, and delayed refunds. All because of a choice you had to make before you even entered a single number.
We built a simpler way
At TaxAItion, we just launched a free tool that answers this question the way you'd actually ask it — in plain language, in a chat:
👉 taxaition.com/which-itr
You just tell the AI your situation, in your own words:
"I only have salary income"
"I sold some shares this year"
"I freelance on the side"
"I have rental income from 2 houses"
And it tells you exactly which ITR form fits your income profile — instantly.
No login. No sign-up. No payment. No jargon. Just the answer to the question you actually have.
Why we made it free
Because form selection shouldn't be a paywall or a puzzle. It's the front door of tax compliance, and we believe it should be open to everyone.
And once you know your form? If you'd like, TaxAItion can take you the rest of the way — our AI-powered platform files your ITR in minutes, runs 62+ CBDT compliance checks on your return, and gives you access to real-time CA support if you ever get stuck.
But even if you file elsewhere, use the tool. Share it with that friend who texts you "bro which ITR" every July. It takes 30 seconds and could save them a defective-return notice.
