The Income Tax Department recently released the Income Tax Return Forms for Assessment Year 2024-25 taxpayers. These include statement forms for tax exemption claims as well as Form-10-IEA. The taxpayer who wants to switch from the new to the old tax system will have to fill this form. If this is not done, it will be considered that the taxpayer has adopted the new system and the tax will be calculated accordingly. It is noteworthy that the new tax system is the default system for all income taxpayers, that is, it is already decided.
Many information will have to be filled in the new form-
Those who want to go back to the old tax system will have to fill a variety of information in the new 10-IEA form. Under this, PAN number, complete details of tax payment etc. are included. Apart from this, the form will also ask about the history of changes in both the tax regimes.
What is Form 10-IEA-
According to tax experts, under the default system, the new tax system is already selected and tax is calculated on that basis. If a taxpayer feels that he is getting the benefit of more tax exemption in the old system, then he can go back to it. Form 10-IEA is similar to the declaration form. At the same time, hundreds of taxpayers have also switched from the old to the new system.
Last date is 31st July-
Tax experts said that this form will have to be submitted before July 31, the last date for filing income tax returns. In some cases, delayed returns can be filed even till December 31, but then the old system will not be able to be opted.
