Why e-filing for ITR(Income Tax Returns) is so much tedious.

in india •  7 years ago  (edited)

I am getting notice messages from the Income Tax department of India for filing the income tax returns, because I got my TDS deducted last year. So, for the first time I was on the website for the e-filing. I have made an account there and that 26B(something) form also shows my TDS amount.

Now When I go to the e-filing ITR, it asks me choose between ITR(1,2,3,4, and 5) of which I had no idea.
First I contacted the helpline given on the website, where a lady talked to me, and told me that she has no idea.
So I searched youtube and finally selected the one which fits my criteria. I had worked as a "Individual Independent contractor" and so I had to choose ITR3 form. Then came the next step, where it is asking me to upload some kind of XML file.

Now I am afraid if I should call the same helpline or not. I searched the youtube again, and spotted some videos, but I haven't watched them yet. I am afraid there would come something next after XML which I would need to search on youtube. I don't want to pay a CA for filing the small returns, because I am not a big salaried person.
