This discussion addresses an error where an advance received was mistakenly declared as income in an Income Tax Return (ITR) for FY 2018-19, leading to an incorrect TDS claim. The advice suggests revising the FY 2018-19 ITR to correct the income and TDS credit before the deadline. For FY 2019-20, the income should be reported accurately, with the corresponding TDS credit claimed. The impact of a refund already issued due to the initial error is also a point of concern.
