The Income Tax Return (ITR) forms for Fiscal Year 2022-23 have been released by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). You can file ITR as soon as the fiscal year ends, thanks to the timely release of forms. While the tax forms largely stay the same there are a few things that have changed in the new ITR forms.

ITR-2 is filed by people who are having income above ₹50 lakh and having income from their primary residence. ITR-3 is for individuals who derive their income from a business or profession.
