ITR Filing Last Week 2026: What Salaried Taxpayers Must Check Before 31 July

Why this is urgent

The Income Tax Department help page says support lines operate 24x7 from 25 July 2026 until 23:59 on 31 July 2026. Official source: Income Tax Returns help.

Last-week checklist

• Download Form 16, AIS, TIS and Form 26AS before starting.
• Compare salary, interest income and TDS before submission.
• Check whether your income fits ITR-1 or needs another form.
• Review deductions and regime choice before final verification.
• Verify the return after filing; uploading alone is not enough.
