Who can file ITR-1 this year? Common mistakes to avoid while filing ITR-1 for AY 2026-27 on or before July 31, 2026

The Income Tax Department has released the excel utility for income tax return (ITR) filing for AY 2026-27 (not the same as Tax Year 2026-2027). The online utility was previously available on the e-filing ITR portal. This means most individuals can now start filing thier ITR.

For AY 2026-27, students, pensioners, salaried and others who don’t need to undergo an income tax audit must file their ITR on or before July 31, 2026. You can either use the offline excel utility or the online utility or ITR e-filing website to file your income tax return (ITR) on or before July 31, 2026.
