This income tax return form is meant for individuals and HUFs who do not have business or professional income but have more complex sources of income than those covered under ITR-1. In simple terms, ITR-2 is used when your income includes capital gains, foreign income or assets, multiple properties, or other situations that make you ineligible for ITR-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide explains who should file ITR-2, what has changed for AY 2026-27, the documents you&#8217;ll need, and how to file it online, step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>ITR-2 is for individuals and HUFs with no business or professional income who have capital gains, foreign assets, more than two houses, or income above \u20b950 lakh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For AY 2026-27, the pre\/post 23 July 2024 capital-gains date split has been removed, all FY 2025-26 gains are reported under one set of revised rates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The asset and liability (Schedule AL) reporting threshold has been raised to \u20b91 crore.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The due date is 31 July 2026 (non-audit cases), and filing on time is essential to carry forward capital losses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should file ITR-2?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should file ITR-2 if you are an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) without income from business or profession, and any of the following apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 You have capital gains, any short-term capital gains, long-term gains above \u20b91.25 lakh, or gains from selling property, gold, unlisted shares, or other assets.<br>\u2192 You own more than two house properties.<br>\u2192 Your total income exceeds \u20b950 lakh.<br>\u2192 You have foreign income or foreign assets, or signing authority in an account outside India.<br>\u2192 You earn income taxable at special rates \u2014 such as winnings from lotteries or horse races.<br>\u2192 You have income from Virtual Digital Assets (crypto), reported under Schedule VDA.<br>\u2192 You are a company director or hold unlisted equity shares.<br>\u2192 You have losses to carry forward or set off under any head.<br>\u2192 You are a non-resident (NRI) or resident but not ordinarily resident (RNOR).<br>\u2192 Your agricultural income exceeds \u20b95,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short: if you&#8217;re not eligible for ITR-1 and you don&#8217;t run a business or profession, ITR-2 is very likely your form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should not file ITR-2?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ITR-2 is not for you if you have any income from a business or profession, in that case you need ITR-3 (or ITR-4 if you&#8217;re under the presumptive taxation scheme).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One useful point: if you are eligible for the simpler ITR-1, you can still choose ITR-2, but there&#8217;s rarely a reason to. ITR-1 is shorter, more pre-filled, and quicker. Always use the simplest form that fully fits your income profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-custom-also-read also-read\">For information on filing deadlines, tax regimes, required documents, and the filing process, refer to our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/1finance.co.in\/blog\/how-to-file-income-tax-return-in-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete ITR filing guide for FY 2025\u201326<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s new in ITR-2 for AY 2026-27<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several changes apply this year, most of them flowing from the capital-gains overhaul introduced by the Finance Act, 2024 and reflected in the notified ITR forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s new in ITR-2 for AY 2026-27<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several changes apply this year, most of them flowing from the capital-gains overhaul introduced by the Finance Act, 2024 and reflected in the notified ITR forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Capital-gains date split removed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For AY 2025-26, taxpayers had to separately report gains earned before and after 23 July 2024 because tax rates changed during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the revised capital-gains regime applies throughout FY 2025-26, this bifurcation has been removed. Capital gains are now reported without a date-wise split.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Old capital-gains rate fields removed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earlier schedules contained fields linked to the old 15% short-term capital gains rate under Section 111A and the old 10% long-term capital gains rate under Section 112A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These have been updated to reflect the revised rates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Short-term capital gains under Section 111A: 20%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long-term capital gains under Section 112A: 12.5% on gains exceeding the \u20b91.25 lakh exemption threshold<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Schedule AL threshold increased to \u20b91 crore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The requirement to disclose assets and liabilities in Schedule AL now applies only if total income exceeds \u20b91 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, the threshold was \u20b950 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Share buy-back loss reporting added<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new field allows taxpayers to report capital losses arising from share buy-backs, subject to the applicable conditions and corresponding dividend income disclosures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. More detailed deduction disclosures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain claims now require additional reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Section 80C deductions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption under Section 10(13A)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxpayers may need to provide a more granular break-up of the amounts claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. TDS section code now required<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TDS schedule requires taxpayers to specify the section under which tax was deducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This improves matching with Form 26AS and other tax records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 PAN and Aadhaar (linked)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Bank account details<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Form 16 from your employer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Form 16A for TDS on interest and other non-salary income<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Form 26AS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 AIS (Annual Information Statement)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 TIS (Taxpayer Information Summary)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Capital gains statements from brokers, mutual fund platforms, or property transactions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Foreign asset and foreign income details, where applicable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Proof of deductions such as: Life insurance premiums, PPF contributions, ELSS investments, rent receipts, donations, other eligible deductions under the old tax regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-onefinance-cta-consultation-card cta-card\"><div class=\"cta-card__inner\"><div class=\"cta-card__content\"><div class=\"cta-card__left\"><div class=\"cta-card__avatars\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imaages-hosting-1fin.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Website_team\/Backend\/cta-qfas-20260112-070936-webp\" alt=\"cta-avatar\"\/><\/div><h3 class=\"cta-card__title\">Get expert help for tax filing<\/h3><p class=\"cta-card__subtitle\"><strong>Book a consultation Qualified Advisors<\/strong><\/p><\/div><div class=\"cta-card__right\"><div class=\"cta-card__form\"><label class=\"cta-card__label\">Phone Number<span class=\"cta-card__required\">*<\/span><\/label><div class=\"cta-card__phone-input\"><span class=\"cta-card__country-code\">+91<\/span><input type=\"tel\" class=\"cta-card__input\" placeholder=\"Enter your phone number\" name=\"phone\" autocomplete=\"off\"\/><\/div><div class=\"cta-card__error-message\" style=\"display:none\">Please enter a valid number<\/div><div class=\"background-border\"><div class=\"border-box\"><\/div><div class=\"cta-card__button disabled ga4\" data-gatitle=\"Blogs_Desktop_BookaFreeConsultation\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"14\" height=\"15\" viewBox=\"0 0 14 15\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M13.1383 10.3969L11.2514 8.41989C10.5776 7.71382 9.43201 7.99628 9.16247 8.91414C8.96031 9.54964 8.28644 9.90267 7.67996 9.76143C6.33224 9.40839 4.5128 7.57261 4.17587 6.08986C3.97371 5.45437 4.37803 4.7483 4.98451 4.53651C5.86053 4.25408 6.13008 3.05376 5.45621 2.34769L3.56939 0.370687C3.0303 -0.123562 2.22167 -0.123562 1.74996 0.370687L0.469621 1.71222C-0.810721 3.12436 0.604393 6.86654 3.77155 10.1851C6.93871 13.5036 10.5102 15.057 11.8579 13.6448L13.1383 12.3033C13.61 11.7384 13.61 10.8911 13.1383 10.3969Z\" fill=\"black\"><\/path><\/svg>Book a free consultation<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"background-border visible-mobile whatsapp-button\"><div class=\"border-box\"><\/div><a class=\"cta-card__button ga4\" data-gatitle=\"Blogs_Mobile_BookaFreeConsultation\" href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=917718801029&amp;text=Hey%2C%20I%20want%20to%20book%20my%20first%20free%20consultation.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imaages-hosting-1fin.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Website_team\/Backend\/coloured_WhatsApp_1764479099.svg\" alt=\"whatsapp icon\"\/>Book a free consultation<\/a><\/div><p class=\"cta-card__helper\">Your first financial plan is <strong>free<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cta-card__success\" style=\"display:none\"><div class=\"cta-card__success-icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imaages-hosting-1fin.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Website_team\/Group+48098033.svg\" alt=\"Success\"\/><\/div><h3 class=\"cta-card__success-title\">Thank you for showing interest!<\/h3><p class=\"cta-card__success-subtitle\">We will get back to you shortly.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Log in<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Log in to the Income Tax e-filing portal using your PAN and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Start a new return<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to: <strong>e-File \u2192 Income Tax Returns \u2192 File Income Tax Return<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Assessment Year 2026-27<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Online mode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ITR-2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your status (Individual or HUF)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Review pre-filled information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The portal imports information from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>AIS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>TIS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Form 26AS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>TDS records<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully compare this data against your own records.
