Quick Summary
A partner in a firm experiencing losses is seeking advice on auditing the firm before filing their personal Income Tax Return (ITR). They are unsure whether to file in July or September and how to declare their share of the business loss. The advice clarifies that the firm carries forward its losses and partners do not need to declare these individual losses on their personal returns. Audit requirements depend on turnover and previous 44AD filings, with specific conditions regarding cash transactions for firms not under audit.

Though your last date of filing is  31st Oct., but you can file it now.

No, the firm will carry forward the losses, and partner need not share the loss in individual acc.

Sir one more doubt turnover in 30L for my firm...if i am filing as loss...should i audit?

No audit applicable for loss in firm, unless firm opted for sec. 44AD in any of preceding 5 AYs.

If turnover more than 1 cr and filing as loss...audit is required?i have not filed return under 44ad in last 5 years...pls reply

Audit in that case will be applicable only if the cash receipts as well as cash expenditures of the firm exceed 5% of total receipts & total expenditures respectively.

If cash receipts and expenditure not exceeding 5% i can file return as loss?

Yes, under normal assessment mode (with books of accounts maintained). No tax audit u/s. 44AB applicable.

In case the firm is not under audit and filing ITR 5 before 31st July. Check the partners also file it before that.

Partners itr filed ..since firm is under loss..this loss not shown in partner return.is there any issue..?

Not at all. The firm will carry forward the losses, it may not be distributed.
