A taxpayer's return for AY 2018-19 was initially invalidated under Section 139(9). After filing a response, the Income Tax department re-invalidated the return with a final order. The taxpayer is seeking guidance on how to proceed, as an appeal to CIT(A) is not possible against this order. The department cited improper reporting under Section 44 AD, specifically regarding the Profit & Loss account. Suggestions include contacting the CPC helpline or filing an e-grievance, indicating a potential software issue.
