TDS 26Q and 24Q Annexure filing query

Hi,

We are going to be filing TDS return by ourselves for the first time but have certain queries.
We have 10 employees whose salaries in the first 2 quarters of the year was not high enough to deduct TDS.
But after recent salary revision 1 of them is coming under TDS ambit. So we have deducted TDS amount and have paid challan for the same.

My queries are as follows.

1) For the first 2 quarters [Q1&Q2] do we file Nil return on traces or do we need to give salary information of our employees for this quarter in annexure despite not deducting TDS from their salaries?

2) If Nil return, then is filing Nil return declaration on Traces website enough? or do we need to submit a NIL return 24Q?

3) Also in the Q3 24Q Return , do we have to mention the salary details of "all our employees" for the quarter including the 1 employee who is liable for deduction? or only salary details of that 1 Employee?

Sorry if some of these e queries are too easy, we are new to this and this is a little confusing for us.

Thanks in Advance.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses common queries regarding TDS 26Q and 24Q annexure filings, particularly for first-time filers. The user is seeking clarification on how to handle nil returns for quarters where no TDS was deducted, whether to file a nil return on TRACES or submit a 24Q form, and how to report employee salary details in the Q3 return when TDS liability arises mid-year. Guidance is provided on declaring nil returns and the process for reporting salary information across different quarters.

Please Help! Tomorrow is the last date...

Inform your auditor & you may consider it in 24 Q3.. Generally tds filing will be done if there is atleast one tax challan exists . So there won't be much issue , you can just declare in traces and you have the option declare full salary in Q4 also for generating form 16.


So need not worry
