Learn how to revise your submitted FBR income tax return on Iris for Tax Year 2026. Step-by-step guide on fixing mistakes, updating wealth statements, and uploading applications.
Filing an income tax return is a critical responsibility for taxpayers in Pakistan. However, it is not uncommon to realize after submission that an error occurred during the process. Taxpayers frequently discover missed tax claims, incorrect income entries, errors in tax deductions, or omitted assets, liabilities, and expenses.
If you find yourself in this situation, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) provides a straightforward online mechanism to correct your return. Through the Iris portal, taxpayers can revise their submitted income tax return for Tax Year 2026 and update their financial declarations accurately.
This comprehensive guide breaks down the complete process of revising your FBR income tax return, explaining the two available revision options, the required documentation, and the final submission steps.
Accessing the Revision Options on FBR Iris
To begin the revision process, you must first access the official FBR Iris web portal:
- Log In: Enter your credentials to log into your FBR Iris account.
- Navigate to Declaration: Click on the Declaration tab from the main menu interface.
- Select Revision Option: Under the Declaration menu, locate and click on Return / Statement Revised.
Once clicked, the portal provides two distinct avenues for revision, depending on whether you need to revise only your wealth declaration or your entire tax return.
Option 1: Wealth Statement Revision
If your income figures and tax deductions are correct, but you need to adjust your declared assets, liabilities, or expenses, you can choose the Wealth Statement revision path.
Steps for Wealth Statement Revision:
- Select the Tax Year: Choose the relevant year you wish to revise (e.g., Tax Year 2026) and click Continue.
- Edit Personal Assets & Liabilities: The system opens an editable form displaying your personal assets and liabilities. Here, you can include new properties, financial assets, immovable investments, or movable assets.
- Update Net Asset Reconciliation: Access the Reconciliation of Net Assets section to adjust your declared values, net asset changes, or related figures.
- Save as Draft Option: If you are not ready to submit immediately, the form remains saved in your Draft folder. You can revisit it or delete the draft from the Declaration section if you choose not to proceed.
Option 2: Normal Return Revision (Single Revision Form)
If you made errors across multiple sections—such as income calculation, tax deductions, business revenue, or wealth declaration—selecting Normal Return provides a unified revision form.
When you select Normal Return under Return / Statement Revised and choose Tax Year 2026, Iris opens a single comprehensive form containing your income tax return, tax calculations, and wealth statement together.
Key Sections Editable in the Normal Return Form:
- Employment Details: Add or delete employer information as needed.
- Income & Tax Adjustments: Revise your declared total income, update tax deductions, or modify withholding tax entries.
- Business Revenue: Adjust declared revenue and related figures in the Businesses section.
- Tax Computation: Review and recalculate tax chargeability and final tax position.
- Wealth Statement & Reconciliation: Add or remove personal assets and liabilities, modify expenses, or adjust entries related to foreign remittances, inheritances, and gifts.
Mandatory Requirement: Attaching an Application for RTO
A crucial requirement for finalizing your revised income tax return is submitting a written application to your Regional Tax Office (RTO).
How to Prepare and Upload the Application:
- Write the Application: Prepare a formal application addressed to your respective RTO. State clearly that you previously filed your income tax return for the relevant tax year, specify the exact mistake made, and request permission to revise the return based on those grounds.
- Format the File: Save the written application as a PDF file or take a clear photograph of the document.
- Upload in Iris: In the revision form, navigate to the Attachments section and click Add File to upload your application.
