I filed my ITR on 30/7/2023 where my wife's income is clubbed as she has no money of her own. I do share trading in my Trading account as well as my wife's with my money. My ITR has been assessed and Refund already credited to my bank account. I have been filing ITR for 20 yrs clubbing her income. On 10/12/23 my wife received an SMS stating that her ITR not filed and was asked to visit Compliance portal and view 'Non Filers' to verify AIS details. I verified AIS dtls to be correct and stated ITR filed on 30-7-23 with Acknowledgment No. Can I.Tax dept start any proceeding against her? What else ITax dept can do now?

Ans: Disclosing it appropriately in your return is important.

Seperate return for your wife may not be required.

Ans: There could be many layers to it, and so it's important to consult with a tax professional for tailored solution to your specific situation.

When you file your income tax return (ITR) by clubbing your wife's income, it typically means that both your incomes are reported together in a single return. In such cases, it's important to ensure that all relevant details and incomes are correctly disclosed while filing the ITR.

Regarding the SMS you received, it's possible that there might be some discrepancy or confusion in the information received by the income tax department. Responding to the e-campaign with your ITR Acknowledgment Number and the date of filing should provide them with the necessary information.

However, if your wife has a separate source of income or if there are specific requirements for her to file a separate return, it's advisable to clarify this with a tax professional. The income tax department may require separate filings for individuals with their own sources of income.

If there are any discrepancies or if the income tax department requires additional information, they may initiate proceedings. It's crucial to respond to any communication from the tax department promptly and accurately.

To ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information, consider consulting with a tax professional or reaching out to the income tax department directly to seek more clarification on the specific requirements for your situation.
