Keep these things in mind while filing returns

1. Wrong tax calculation
Both the old and new tax regimes offer different tax exemptions and rates. You must first decide which tax regime is beneficial for you.

4. Losing the source of income
If you have income from multiple sources, like salary, rent, freelance work etc., do not forget to include them all properly.
5. Check Form 26AS
This form is available on the income tax portal and contains your TDS, tax payment and other details. It is important to check whether the information provided by you matches with that in Form 26AS.
