Stop Googling "which ITR form should I file" - here's a better answer
Hi,
Every year around this time, the same question floats around - which ITR form do I actually need to file?
The official answer involves reading Rule 12 of the Income Tax Rules, cross-referencing your income sources, and hoping you got it right.
Most people either ask their CA, guess, or just pick the same form they filed last year.
I built something to fix that.
The ITR Form Selector — itrstats.in/guide/itr-form/
5 questions. Under a minute. Definitive answer for FY 2025-26.
It covers every scenario — salaried employees, freelancers with side hustles, NRIs, RNORs, HUFs, partnership firms, capital gains, brought-forward losses, the new LTCG-in-ITR-1 rule from AY 2026-27.
All 7 forms.
Your result comes with a shareable link, so you can send it to your CA or family member and say, "This is what I got."

As always, free. No login. No ads in the way.
P.S. Filing deadline for most taxpayers is July 31, 2026. Still time — but not a lot of it.
