FAQ :

ITR-2 is an income tax return form used by individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) who do not earn income from business or profession.

Yes, ITR-2 is now officially enabled for online filing with prefilled data on the Income Tax e-Filing portal.

Prefilled data means that details like salary, interest income, and TDS are already available on the Income Tax portal, reducing the need for manual entry.
