Don't let past errors linger. Let Taxes Genie guide you through a seamless updated return filing process.
Note: Only one updated return can be filed for each assessment year.
You cannot file an Updated Return if:
If you've previously filed an original, belated, or revised return under Sections 139(1), 139(4), or 139(5) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, or even if you missed filing altogether, you're eligible to file an updated return using Form ITR-U under Section 139(8A).
Filing an updated return with Taxes Genie is easy!
Filing an Updated Return (ITR-U) under Section 139(8A) offers taxpayers an opportunity to rectify omissions or errors in their previously filed returns. It's important to note that ITR-U cannot be used to claim a refund, report a loss, or decrease your tax liability. Additionally, only one updated return can be filed for each assessment year.
Effective from April 1, 2025, as per the Finance Act 2025, taxpayers now have an extended window of 48 months from the end of the relevant assessment year to file an updated return.

This was my first time filing an ITR and I was nervous about making mistakes. But Taxes Genie walked me through every step and it just took me 20 minutes. Highly recommend!
I'm a freelancer with multiple income sources. Their expert eCA handled everything perfectly and even helped me get a bigger refund than expected. Worth every rupee!
As an NRI, I was struggling to manage both Indian and foreign income filings. Their NRI tax team was excellent – responsive, clear, and totally on point with compliance.
Literally just uploaded my Form 16 and the return was ready in minutes. No manual entry, no confusion. So convenient!
Received a notice under Section 143(1) and had no idea how to respond. Taxes Genie’s team explained everything and filed the correct response on my behalf. Zero stress!
I sold a property and some mutual funds this year. Their capital gains filing service was incredibly detailed. They calculated everything perfectly and made filing so easy.
