Portal Live: The FBR Iris portal is now accepting returns for the tax year ending June 30, 2026. Deadline: The statutory deadline is September 30, 2026. Early Filing: Avoid the end-of-September server crashes by filing your wealth statements today. Tax Year 2026 Filing is Open The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has officially launched the return filing season for Tax Year 2026. Taxpayers, including salaried individuals, business owners, and non-residents, can now log into the Iris portal to declare their income and file their wealth statements for the period covering July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Why You Shouldn't Wait Historically, the FBR's digital infrastructure struggles under the massive load of last-minute filers. During the final two weeks of September, the Iris system routinely experiences severe latency, timeouts, and gateway errors. By filing early, you ensure that your Active Taxpayer List (ATL) status is secured without the stress of navigating a failing server. Furthermore, calculating your exact tax liability early gives you ample time to generate PSIDs and clear any outstanding dues without facing daily default surcharges.
