PROCEDURE: Filing income tax returns is an important annual task for individuals and businesses to report their income and calculate the tax they owe to the government. Here's a general overview of the process:

Choose a Filing Method: You can file your taxes either electronically or by mail. E-filing is generally faster, more convenient, and can help reduce errors.

Select a Tax Form: The form you use depends on your filing status and sources of income.

Calculate Your Tax Liability: Use the information provided on the form to calculate how much tax you owe.
-
Submit Your Return: If filing electronically, you can submit your return through approved tax software.

Pay any Owed Taxes: Avoid penalties and interest.

Keep Records: Keep copies of all your tax documents and your filed tax return for at least three years
