Frequently Asked Questions

What the ITR-1 helper covers

ITR-1 (Sahaj) on this site is a worksheet for a resident individual with salary or pension, one house property, and other sources such as interest, within the limits of that form. You enter those figures, optional Chapter VI-A deductions, and the page runs the FY 2025-26 tax calculation used by the income-tax calculator. Business income, most capital gains, and foreign assets do not belong on this form.

The PDF is not an Income Tax Department return. The helper does not log in, send an OTP, or submit anything on incometax.gov.in. A working copy and up to 10 drafts stay in localStorage.

How to use it

Add deductions the form allows and read the tax total, including cess.
Download the PDF or JSON and file on the official portal, or hand the figures to a chartered accountant.
