Which ITR should I file?

I am a government employee whose income primarily comes from my salary. Apart from that, I have some short-term capital gain in NEGATIVE, about Rs. 8000. But, unfortunately, from my years-old Amazon Affiliate link, someone purchased, I don't know what on Amazon India. Amazon paid me approximately Rs. 1800, from which TDS of about Rs. 18 was deducted under section 194C.

Now, which ITR should I file?

Any help would be appreciated.

Quick Summary
This discussion focuses on determining the correct Income Tax Return (ITR) form for an individual with salary income, a negative short-term capital gain, and a small amount of income from an Amazon Affiliate link with TDS deducted under Section 194C. The user initially considered ITR 2 but encountered an error related to the TDS schedule. After troubleshooting, the consensus leans towards filing ITR 3 as a more suitable option given the circumstances.

You may file ITR 2 with the amazone income under 'IFOS'.

Sir, 

Thanks for the reply. While filing ITR2 I am getting the following error... Should I be concerned?

 

Category of Defect B/D -

You will be allowed to upload the return. There is a possible defect present in the return or some of the deduction/claim may not be allowed.

1 Error(s) found
 
  In schedule TDS 2 TDS section 194Q,194C or 194R is selected, the income  under which  is not expected to be reported in ITR
 
Please ensure that correct details are provided under TDS schedule 2. Consider filing return in ITR 3 if required.

 

In Schedule TDS 2 Go th the TDS column.... Click it to edit.... In the income head select 'OI'...

The defect will be removed...

 

It's already selected as "Income from other sources."

"Section under which TDS is deducted" is also selected as "94C- Payments to contractors and sub-contractors"

But the warning is still there.. Am I missing heresomething?

The TDS column is required to be changed from 94C..... to Other income....

Sir, I can't find any such option in the dropdown "Section under which TDS is deducted*". May you provide the relevant section under which I can show OI?

You have select the tab in the TDS 2 schedule .... then click... 'Edit" .....

I am unable to fix the issue.

Shall I file ITR3 instead?

That would be best option...
