Before you begin
Confirm the taxpayer’s entity type, residence, income sources, and filing history. Gather evidence for every applicability question that affects form selection. Know the assessment year and whether the return is Original, Belated, or Revised. Do not start a case that requires ITR-6 or ITR-U in this release.
Released form matrix
The form-specific workspaces calculate and emit JSON only for ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3, ITR-4, ITR-5 and ITR-7.
Review the eligibility facts
Before accepting the suggested form, confirm all applicable facts, including:
entity and residential status; business, profession, presumptive and partnership income; capital gains and special-rate income; house properties, foreign assets or income and carried-forward losses; directorship, unlisted shares, agricultural income and section 194N credits; audit, books, depreciation, MAT/AMT and entity-specific schedules; and exemption, trust, institution and section 139(4A)–(4D) conditions.
An unknown answer must remain unresolved. Do not use No merely to make a simpler form available.
Previous assessment years
The owned engine retains separate rule and published-schema packages for AY 2022-23 through AY 2026-27 across the six released forms. Those packages prevent the current year's rates and schema from leaking into a retained earlier-year case.
This does not mean a new return can always be started for every listed year. After the Original, Belated and Revised windows close, the taxpayer may need ITR-U, which is unavailable in this release.
Choose the filing route
Every released form has a manual route: review the exact package, download the schema-checked JSON, upload it on the official portal and retain the real acknowledgement and verification evidence.
The pinned Quicko direct-submission contract covers ITR-3 only. It is not available merely because a provider connection exists; the workspace must expose the exact operation as Available and all server controls must pass. Do not describe the other forms as directly filed through Quicko.
Expected result
The selected form matches the taxpayer's reviewed facts and the product's released form set. Unavailable forms and closed filing windows stop explicitly, while every supported return keeps a clear calculation, JSON and filing-route boundary.
