Advance received was wrongly considered as Income in ITR

Quick Summary

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.

19 September 2020 Dear Sir/Mam,
Please guide on Following Case.
In FY 2018-19, Mr. X wrongly considered advance received as Income in ITR. And claimed full amount of TDS in FY 2018-19.
Please guide what he can do in the ITR of FY 2019-20. Bills against advance has been raised in FY 2019-20. Should he deduct advance from Total turnover in FY 2019-20 ?
Please guide.

20 September 2020 Revise ITR of FY 18-19 by correcting the income and also reduce credit taken against it. You need to do it before 30th Sept 2020.

In FY 19-20, you can show the income properly and also claim the credit corresponding to that income in the ITR.
