Dear Experts,

2. How much % of Education Cess I have to pay on Rs.13,730.50, is it 2% or 3% for the FY 2016-17, AY 2017-18 or is it GST that I have to add in place of Cess, if it is GST, kindly advise how.

3. I have a carry forward loss of Rs.118, 414.75, I am filing ITR-2, under which column should I put the carry forward loss.

4.  Also, how to go about filing the returns online, is there a step by step instructions to file returns online.

Thanks in advance, Would humbly request experts to let me know so that I can file my income tax returns by 31st.

Use ITR2, under CFL table put the relevant figure under the correct year. GST has nothing to do with income tax. 

Thanks for your valuable reply

Thanks very much
