The usual way
Seven places to look. One return to get right.
A Form 16 PDF from your employer, AIS and Form 26AS on the portal, a bank interest certificate, a broker statement, a calculator and a notice email you are not sure about. TaxCare turns them into one flow.

How filing works
Your return, from sign-in to refund.
Eight steps — the same ones the Income Tax portal expects. We do the heavy lifting; every decision stays yours.
Sign in and connect the portal
Enter your mobile number and the one-time code. Then link your PAN to the Income Tax portal once. This device stays signed in for a year.
We fetch your records
Your AIS, TIS, TDS statement and salary certificate data come straight from the portal — no downloads, no retyping.
We check every figure
Each source is matched against the others. A difference — such as savings interest in your AIS that your employer's certificate does not show — is flagged, and you see how it is resolved.
Old and new regime, both computed
For Tax Year 2026-27 we compute your tax under both regimes and show you the difference before you choose.
You review and approve
Income, deductions, tax and refund on one screen. Nothing is submitted until you approve it.
We e-file, you get the acknowledgement
Your approved return is filed on the Income Tax portal. The acknowledgement number, date and time reach the app straight away.
E-verify within 30 days
A return counts only once it is verified. E-verify with an Aadhaar OTP in a minute; until you do, we remind you on the channels you choose.
Track your refund
Once the Income Tax Department processes your return, follow the refund all the way to your bank account, with an alert at each step.
Who does what
We do the work. You keep the say.
We bring it in
Records come straight from the Income Tax portal, so nothing is retyped or missed.
We check it against the rules
Every figure is matched across sources and tested against the rules for the Tax Year, both regimes included.
You decide
You see the whole return first. It is filed only after you approve it.

Questions, answered
Is there a discount on my first ITR?
Filing yourself is free for smaller incomes. Above that the fee follows your income band and never goes above the cap shown on the Pricing page. The first return you file yourself with TaxCare gets the first-filing discount shown there, once per account.
Which ITR forms can I file?
ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3 and ITR-4 — salary, pension, house property, capital gains, freelance and small-business income. If your return needs more than the app can do, a Tax Expert can file it for you.
Do I need to upload documents?
Most people don't. Once you connect your PAN, TaxCare fetches your AIS, TIS and Form 26AS or Form 168 from the Income Tax portal. Together they carry your salary, TDS, interest, dividends and more.
Is my data safe?
Your account data is stored in India (AWS Mumbai), encrypted in transit and at rest, and used only for the purposes you consent to under the DPDP Act, 2023. A few providers outside India get limited, masked data, each named in our Privacy Policy. You can download your data, correct your contact details and delete your account from your profile; for anything else, write to our Grievance Officer.
Can I file for my parents or spouse?
Yes. Add anyone at home who has their own PAN. Each return is filed separately, and you manage them all from one account.
What if I get stuck?
Hand your return to a verified TaxCare Tax Expert from inside the app. The price is shown before you book, and the expert works on the same return.
Can I use TaxCare in Hindi?
Yes. The website and the app work in English and Hindi, and Shri, our assistant, answers in English, Hinglish or Hindi.
