Most income-tax stories at the bench look the same. A salaried person flexing into capital gains for the first time. A founder whose F&O turnover has nudged them into audit territory. A doctor who has just realised 44ADA does the work of 44AB without the audit fee. The mistakes that follow are predictable, and almost all of them are upstream of the return itself — wrong form, missed AIS line, an ESOP that got declared twice. The guides below are the answers we write when the same question comes back a third time in a week. They are short, specific, and built around the form, the section, and the line item — not the policy. If you are filing this year, start with the form-selector and the AIS reconciliation pieces, then read the niche you actually live in.
