Once you have fulfilled your tax commitment, you feel relaxed, but how do you make sure that the tax paid by you has been actually received by the government and has been credited against your account. Well, there is a way - Get your Form 26AS.

'Form 26AS' or in simple terms you can call it your 'tax credit statement' is provided by the income tax department to all the tax payers. It acts a proof that the tax received from you has reached the government and has been credited against your Permanent Account Number (PAN) (http://www.personalfn.com/knowledge-center/tax-savings/views-on-news/13-0213/are_you_are_a_pan_holder_not_filing_tax_returns_read_this.aspx). Ideally all the payments made by you as tax should get reflected in the Form 26AS. If any of your tax payments (http://www.personalfn.com/knowledge-center/Money-Simplified.aspx) in the assessment year is not reflecting in this statement, then it means the tax money deducted from you has not been submitted to the tax department till the date of record. How do I get my Form 26AS?

Before filing your tax returns, you might want to check the amount of total tax already paid by you through different ways in the given year and then you pay the remaining tax. In case you find that you have paid extra tax in a year, then you can submit your tax credit statement to the income tax department while filing and request for a tax refund. In case you see any entry on account of TDS/TCS credit in your Form 26AS which is not pertaining to you, you may intimate the deductor/collector. In case the erroneous entry is on account of advance tax or self-assessment tax, you may intimate your Assessing Officer. Incase if any of the issue has not been resolved by the deductor, then you can contact Aaykar Sampark Kendra (ASK) at 0124-2438000 or Central Processing Center (CPC) of TDS.

Even if you purchased your new home in 2012, it may be possible for you to qualify for a tax credit of 20 percent of the mortgage interest you pay each year, for the next three decades. This credit is only offered by certain mortgage lenders, so read the fine print. If your tax bracket is too high, you may also be ineligible. PREVIOUS
