ITR Filing 2025: If you earn through these methods, then filing returns yourself may prove to be costly..

ITR Filing 2025: The government has extended the last date for filing ITR for the financial year 2024-25 from July 31, 2025, to September 15, 2025. In such a situation, if you have not filed your ITR yet, then you should complete this work soon.

By filing ITR early, you can get a refund soon, and the possibility of mistakes is also reduced. But it is important to keep some special things in mind to fill out the ITR. In such a situation, the first question arises whether to file ITR yourself or get it done by a CA? Let's know…

Decide from the source of income, file ITR yourself, or get it filed by a CA.
The decision of whether you have to fill out the ITR yourself or get it filed by a CA depends on your source of income. If your income comes from a job or the source of income is the same and the investment is limited, then you can file ITR yourself. In such a situation, if your TDS has been deducted and you have received Form 16, then you can easily fill out the ITR by visiting the government website or the income tax portal.

You have more than one income source, like business, freelancing, rental income, earnings from the stock market, or crypto, and you do not have complete knowledge of tax laws. Along with this, if you want to plan tax savings in a better way, then you should get your ITR filed by a CA. Filing ITR is no longer a difficult task, especially if your income is simple. But if your income is complex or you are not aware of the tax rules, then it would be wise to take the help of a CA.

Is it necessary to file ITR?

If your annual income is ₹ 2.5 lakh or more in the old tax regime, or ₹ 3 lakh or more in the new tax regime, then you must file ITR, whether you have any tax or not.

Before filing the ITR, it is important to keep some documents ready. These include Form 16A (if employed), Form 26AS, bank statement, investment details, TDS information and information about other sources of income.
