'IT returns' mystery unfolded! sort of

Just when I thought that there was nothing more I couldn't accomplish in this world, I astound myself by filing my own INCOME TAX RETURNS! I know I know. I am too much.

It's really very simple. No jhanjat of intermediaries and wondering if they will do a good job of it. Somebody told me about the online filing of returns. It’s a good thing.

Create an account here just as you would for an email ID. Then simply log in, download an ITR form from the left hand side menu. It’s actually an excel sheet. and a very simple one. What's next.. Just upload that sheet and take a print out of the acknowledgement receipt and its ready to be submitted to any of the local IT offices. Cool or what!

I admit it took me some time to actually gain faith in the online filing thingi. I thought it would all end up in a disaster. Which it didn't. So that's good.

I proudly asked my friend if she had already submitted her IT returns and whether she needed my help. Apparently this online thing has been in the limelight for quite some time now.. and yes, she had already filed her returns.

Mommy would be so proud.. provided I haven't messed up things.
