Who it's for

File your ITR as a salaried employee

Your salary and TDS are already on the Income Tax portal. TaxCare fetches them from every employer, finds the income your employer didn't know about, and files the return that costs you less.

How TaxCare handles it

Only what the app does today — nothing promised for later.

  1. Your records, fetchedOnce your PAN is connected, TaxCare pulls your AIS, TIS and Form 26AS or Form 168 straight from the Income Tax portal.
  2. Salary and TDS from every employerEach employer's salary and the tax they deducted come from your records, so a job change in the middle of the year isn't missed.
  3. Every figure checkedIncome in your AIS that isn't in your return yet — savings interest, deposit interest, dividends — is found and shown to you before you file.
  4. Both regimes, worked outYour tax is calculated under the old and the new regime on your own figures. You see the difference before you choose.
  5. The right form, from your dataTaxCare works out whether you file ITR-1, 2, 3 or 4 from what your records show — and tells you the reason when it moves you up a form.
  6. Approve, upload, e-verifyNothing is released until you approve it. You upload the return on the Income Tax portal, then e-verify with an Aadhaar OTP, and reminders follow until it's done.

What you need

Most of your figures are fetched for you. Keep these ready.

  • Your PAN, linked with your Aadhaar

  • Your Aadhaar-linked or portal-registered mobile, for the OTP

  • Form 16 from each employer, to cross-check salary and TDS

  • Proofs of what you claim in the old regime — 80C investments, health insurance, home loan interest

  • A bank account in your name, validated on the Income Tax portal, for the refund

Questions, answered

Can I file without Form 16?

Yes. Your salary and the tax deducted are in your AIS and Form 26AS or Form 168, which TaxCare fetches. Form 16 is still useful to cross-check.

I changed jobs this year. What do I do?

Nothing extra. Both employers' salary and TDS appear in your records, and TaxCare adds them together. If the second employer did not count the first salary, the extra tax shows up before you file.

Old or new regime — which should I pick?

TaxCare calculates both on your own figures and shows you the difference. The new regime gives a standard deduction of ₹75,000; the old one allows deductions like 80C and home loan interest.

When will I get my refund?

After you e-verify, the department processes your return and sends the refund to your validated bank account. TaxCare alerts you when its status changes.

Your salary is already on the portal. Let's file it.

Your first return with TaxCare gets 25% off. The fee follows your income: free up to ₹1,00,000, then from ₹49 — never more than ₹1,499.
