Short answerIt depends on your income. ITR-1 is for salaried individuals with income up to ₹50 lakh and one house. ITR-2 is for those with capital gains, more than one house, or foreign/NRI income. ITR-3 is for business or professional income. ITR-4 is for presumptive income. The wrong form gets your return marked defective.

Quick guide

ITR-1: salary/pension, one house, income up to ₹50 lakh
ITR-2: capital gains, more than one house, NRI, foreign assets
ITR-3: business or professional income
ITR-4: presumptive income (44AD/44ADA)

Common mistakes

If you have capital gains you can’t use ITR-1, and NRIs can’t use ITR-1 or ITR-4. Estimate your position with our income tax calculator or let our filing service pick and file the right form.
