2. Reconcile data — Match TDS/TCS, Form-16/26AS, AIS, and bank statements.


3. Update ITR utility — Download the latest offline utility/Excel templates from the portal.


4. Consult a tax professional — Especially if you have business income, capital gains, or complex cases.


5. Keep screenshots of portal issues — In case technical glitches delay your filing, evidence may help later relief requests.
