How to get a copy of your AIS to make filing your ITR easier

In the Income Tax Return (ITR), a taxpayer must include all essential information for calculating total income earned. While Form 16 has information on salary income and Form 16A contains information on interest on Fixed Deposits (FDs), it is difficult to acquire information for those earnings for which no tax is deducted at source (TDS).

Taxpayers can utilise Form 26AS to acquire all of the information they need about their income and taxes. Form 26A, on the other hand, typically contains information on income where tax has been deducted as TDS.

A taxpayer must include all necessary information in the Income Tax Return (ITR) in order to calculate total income earned. While Form 16 has information on salary income and Form 16A contains information on interest on Fixed Deposits (FDs), information on incomes for which no tax is deducted at source is difficult to come by (TDS).

Form 26AS allows taxpayers to obtain all of the information they require regarding their income and taxes. Form 26A, on the other hand, usually provides information on income that has been subjected to TDS deductions.

As a result, after the implementation of AIS, Form 26AS will lose some of its utility.

Is Form 26AS going to be phased out?

It will not be stopped for the time being, and a taxpayer can access both Form 26AS and AIS at the same time. As a result, knowing and submitting information for your ITR will be a breeze.

How do you get access to your AIS?

To obtain the AIS –

  • To begin, go to incometax.gov.in and log in to your account.
  • Then go to the Services Tab and choose AIS from the dropdown menu.
  • When you select the AIS option, a new tab will appear with two options on the left side of the page: Tax Information Summary (TIS) and AIS on the right side.

You can download both TIS and AIS because they both include the same information, however TIS contains a summary while AIS contains details.

The statements are available in PDF and JPEG formats for download. Your PAN Number (in CAPITAL) followed by your Date of Birth (DDMMYYYY)
