Form 16
If you are a salaried taxpayer, Form 16 is the most important document for filing your ITR. This is a TDS deduction certificate issued by your company or employer, which contains the details of salary and tax deducted and deposited on it. If your employer has deducted TDS from your salary during any financial year, it is mandatory for him to issue Form-16.
Form 16A and other TDS certificates
Apart from Form 16, the taxpayer will also have to collect other applicable TDS certificates. One such certificate is Form 16A. If the interest earned on FD in FY2022-23 exceeds Rs 40,000, the bank will deduct tax on it. You need to issue Form 16A for tax deducted on dividends paid during the financial year to mutual fund companies, provided it exceeds Rs.5,000.
Interest income and other interest certificates
While filing ITR, taxpayers have to give details of interest income received from various sources like savings account, FD etc. That’s why it is necessary to take interest certificate from banks, post offices and other financial institutions.
