HOW TO GET PRE FILLED XML IN JAWA FORMAT FOR AY 2019-20?
Prefilled Xml is available only till AY 18-19 for java utility. And also LTCL on shares is not being carry forward.
ITR 2 for AY 2019-20: schema issued in may 2019 seem to have bugs. not able to upload xml document even though individual sheets are validated ok . It gives error asking me to use correct schema. The solution is not clear. When I filled the form PR1.2 issued on 14 June 2019 there was no problem in uploading xml. I have wasted 2 hours in trying to find this solution. Did this happen only to me or anyone else also had the same problem?
I am also facing the same problem. Errors are not even highlighted on the sheet to facilitate correction. My struggle is not yet over.
can we download the Pre filled ITR 2 XML from the website i am not able to do the same.
I think there were some bugs in the earlier versions of the tool for ITR 2. A new version has been introduced by IT Deptt on 11th July 19. May be this will solve the issue.
I tried using the latest version of ITR 2 (version PR2 of Jul 11, 2019). I still get invalid XML on uploading. Each sheet is validated as sheet is ok and XML is generated but i cannot upload.I still get invalid XML. Any solution?
ITR 2 Excel utility (released on July 11) seems to have an error/ bug. If you report LTCG on equity < 1 lakh, (4d in schedule CG ), it just adds it to taxable income without considering the 1 lakh threshold. Thus any income < 1 Lakh reported as Equity LTCG becomes taxable in the Utility. Needs fixing.
Yes, that is wrong and unfair. Why should citizens pay for mistakes in the form. Where can one notify such issues ?
YES I ALSO FACED THE SAME ISSUE LTCG LESS THAN 1 LAKH IS GETTING ADDED TO TAXABLE LTG AND GETTING TAXED 10%. HOW TO RECTIFY THE SAME. ALSO ARE TO FILL 112A SHEET AS WELL GIVING SCRIP WISE DETAILS OF LTCG
FILLING ITR 2 IS TROUBLESOME. I USED EXCEL UTILITY. UNABLE TO DO PRE-FILL. MANY SAY ITR 2 PRE FILLING HAS PROBLEMS. ALL SHEETS ARE OKAY BUT TAX CALCULATION IS ERRONEOUS. STRUGGLING.
I am also facing many such issues only this year. No help at all from the call center or email. Wasting many hours and days.
ITR-4 AY 2019-20 drop down box under 44ADA does not show code no.16019 for other professional receipts. Due to this I am unable to submit the ITR-4.
I have used the earlier version of ITR2 Java utility prior to 12-July update and the LTCG computations were correct in B-4 – the amt below Rs.1 lakh was taken as zero (0), whereas after I downloaded recent update of 12-July, the ITR2 JAva software form – LTCG in CG B4 is not taking the Rs. 1-lakh threshold and is still reporting the value below 1 Lakh (For Eg. Rs. 20000) as the LTCG gain – in B-4-f, showing as 4c-4e instead of 4d-4e (which was earlier version & correct). This is upsetting the whole Tax computations as including the MF/Equity LTCG gain below Rs.1 lakh. Same issue is found also in Excel utility updated 11-July. Appreciate any update, feedback or comment from experts on this forum.
And further CBDT issues notice that feedback in social Media is incorrect. On 17-July under News & Updates: CBDT issues clarification on incorrect reports in social media pertaining to difficulty in filing of Income Tax Returns. I hope the Tax officials are listening and ensuring these issues are resolved at the earliest.
