Form 26AS — your Annual Tax Statement

Annual statementTDS / TCS creditsView on e-filing portal

Form 26AS is your consolidated annual tax statement — every rupee of tax credited against your PAN. Always reconcile it (and the AIS) with your own records before you file.

What it shows

  • TDS & TCS deducted on your salary, interest, rent, professional fees, etc.
  • Advance tax & self-assessment tax you paid.
  • Refunds issued during the year.

26AS vs AIS

The newer AIS (Annual Information Statement) is wider — it also lists interest, dividends, securities and property transactions reported to the department. Use both: 26AS for tax credits, AIS for income reported about you.

Who & when

Every taxpayer, before filing the ITR. View/download it from the e-filing portal → e-File → Income Tax Returns → View 26AS (TRACES).

Why it matters

Your ITR must match 26AS/AIS. A mismatch is the single most common trigger for a notice — reconcile first.
