The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has notified changes to income tax return forms, including Form ITR-U, for the assessment year 2026-27. The updated forms, which include ITR-1 to ITR-7, have been released, with some outlets reporting that the changes may affect senior citizens and include the addition of new reasons for filing, such as "wrong heads of income". The notification may also involve changes to the filing process, with some reports indicating a deadline extension and differences in filing income tax returns this year.
