How to Download Form 26AS, AIS & TIS from the Income Tax Portal

Form 26AS, AIS (Annual Information Statement) and TIS (Taxpayer Information Summary) are the three documents the Income Tax Department uses to cross-check your ITR. Mismatches are the leading cause of notices in 2025-26. Here's how to download each — and what to do with them.

What each document shows

• Form 26AS — TDS / TCS, advance tax, self-assessment tax, refunds and high-value transactions reported under SFT
• AIS — comprehensive: salary, interest, dividend, securities transactions, mutual funds, foreign remittances, GST turnover
• TIS — simplified, category-wise summary of AIS used directly while pre-filling your ITR

Download Form 26AS — step by step

1. Log in to incometax.gov.in with your PAN and password
2. Go to e-File → Income Tax Returns → View Form 26AS
3. You'll be redirected to the TRACES portal — click "Confirm"
4. Tick the disclaimer → "Proceed"
5. Click View Tax Credit (Form 26AS), pick Assessment Year 2026-27 and "View as" HTML or PDF (password = PAN in lowercase + DOB as DDMMYYYY)

Download AIS & TIS — step by step

1. On the income tax portal, go to Services → Annual Information Statement (AIS)
2. You'll land on the AIS dashboard — pick FY 2025-26
3. Click the AIS tile to download the detailed PDF/JSON, or the TIS tile for the summary
4. AIS PDF password = PAN (lowercase) + DOB (DDMMYYYY), e.g. abcde1234f01011990

Reconcile before you file

• Salary & TDS in AIS = Form 16 = Form 26AS — all three must match
• Add every savings & FD account's interest, even if below ₹10,000
• Match broker capital-gains statements with AIS "Sale of securities" entries
• Dividends are now fully taxable — verify the AIS dividend total
• If AIS shows an incorrect entry, submit feedback inside AIS (Accept / Modify / Deny) — don't ignore it

Common mismatch traps

• SFT high-value entries (₹10L+ MF purchase, ₹10L+ savings deposit, ₹2L+ credit card spend in cash) flagged in AIS but missed in ITR
• Interest from old / dormant savings accounts not reported
• Multiple employers' Form 16s — only one TDS captured in your filing
• Dividend reinvestment treated as both income and reinvestment, but only income is taxable
