This discussion clarifies that individuals other than Chartered Accountants can file an ITR-5 form for partnership firms. While a CA is required for tax audits under Section 44AB, the filing of the ITR-5 itself is the responsibility of the assessee or an authorised person. If your business doesn't require a tax audit, a tax consultant can assist with computations and filing.
