Amendments In ITR-2 Form For AY 2022-23

A recent update has introduced a new section called 'Schedule Tax Deferred on employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).' This section aims to monitor the amount of tax that is deferred and the specific year in which it should be taxed. In order to obtain the required information on employees' ESOPs from qualifying start-ups, it is essential.

To establish the taxpayer's residence status, they need to choose from various descriptions related to different sections of the Income Tax Act.

Schedule FA (Foreign Asset)

The term "calendar year ending as on 31st December 2021" has been replaced by the term "accounting period." 

This change shows that the taxpayer needs now to furnish details of all foreign assets owned during the period from 1st January 2021-31st December 2021. 

This modification has brought about a clearer and more explicit reporting period for foreign assets. As a result, it is now easier to understand and comply with the requirements regarding the timeframe for reporting foreign asset information.

Schedule CG (Capital Gains)

  • Yearly wise breakdown of land or building costs of improvement.
  • The requirement now entails providing distinct details for the acquisition cost and indexed acquisition cost.
  • Disclosure of Fair Market Value (FMV) for capital assets and the consideration paid in slump sale transactions.

Important Points While Filing ITR 2:

Double-check the accuracy of the tax-paid amounts, including TDS/TCS, advance tax, and self-assessment tax.

When making self-assessment tax payments, ensure that you select the correct assessment year. Many taxpayers mistakenly choose the financial year instead of the assessment year when generating the challan. For example, for the fy 2019-20, the ay will be 2020-21.

Verify the tax paid amount by cross-checking with Form 26AS to avoid any discrepancies. You can refer to Form 26AS to understand more about it.

File your ITR on or before the due date. Any type of failure doing so may attract fines and penalties. Remember that it is easier to file and revise an ITR than not filing it at all.

Understand the applicability of income tax returns based on your specific situation before proceeding with the filing process.

While filling out the income tax return, remember to save each schedule before moving on to the next one. This will ensure that your progress is saved and prevent any loss of data.
