Inquiry about Filing ITR for Combined Freelance and Permanent Employment


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to file an Income Tax Return (ITR) when you have both freelance and permanent employment income within the same financial year. The user received separate TDS certificates (Form 16 and 16A) for these periods. Advice suggests filing a single ITR 3 to declare both income sources, unless specific conditions for ITR 4 under Section 44ADA are met.

13 July 2023 Hi

Between April 2022 and mid-August 2022, I worked as a freelancer for a company. From mid-August 2022 onwards, I moved to a permanent employee position within the same company. I have received Form 16 for the period of August 2022 to March 31st, 2023, and Form 16a for the period of April 2022 to mid-August 2022.

Now, I am unsure if I need to file separate income tax returns (ITR 1 for the permanent job and ITR 3 for freelance income) or if I can file ITR 1 only and include the freelance income under the "Income other than salary" head.

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

13 July 2023 File only one ITR 3, where in disclose both incomes.

13 July 2023 okay, just now my company accountant is saying that I should file ITR 4

is he correct?

13 July 2023 please suggest your views on that

13 July 2023 Yes, if TDS deducted u/s. 194Jb, and if you are eligible for sec. 44ADA of IT act.
Otherwise file ITR 3.

14 July 2023 okay, thank you so much

14 July 2023 You are welcome.
