Common questions
Before you file, ask us anything.
Tax filing in India has more caveats than answers. These are the questions salaried filers ask us most often.
It depends on your salary structure and deductions. If you have significant investments under Section 80C, home loan interest (Sec 24b), or health insurance (80D), the old regime may save you more. If your deductions are minimal, the new regime with lower slab rates and a ₹75,000 standard deduction is often better. Use our free calculator to compare both instantly.
For salaried taxpayers, you primarily need your Form 16 from your employer. Optionally, your AIS (Annual Information Statement) and Form 26AS help verify TDS credits and reported income. If you have investments, keep statements for 80C (PPF, ELSS, LIC), health insurance receipts (80D), and home loan interest certificates.
Yes. Data in transit is protected with TLS encryption. Workspace data is stored on India-region servers. We are built with Indian data protection principles in mind and we never sell your data or share it with third parties. Calculator inputs are processed locally in your browser. You can delete your data anytime. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Basic tax calculation and regime comparison is completely free. Our DIY workspace for Form 16 upload and draft preparation is also free. If you want a CA-reviewed filing, plans start at ₹1,499 per filing season. Annual tax care with reminders and recurring support is ₹2,999 per year.
TaxWala helps you prepare your filing draft with organized documents and verified numbers. For the actual e-filing, you submit on the official Income Tax Department portal (incometax.gov.in). Alternatively, you can hand off your prepared case to a CA through our platform for a reviewed filing.
For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), the deadline for salaried individuals is July 31, 2026. Filing after this date incurs a late fee of ₹5,000 (₹1,000 if total income is under ₹5 lakhs). We recommend starting early to avoid last-minute rush and to review your numbers carefully.
While it is not mandatory if your gross total income is below the basic exemption limit, filing a nil return is beneficial. It helps with visa applications, loan approvals, and serves as proof of income. It also allows you to carry forward losses and claim TDS refunds.
Upload your Form 16 PDF to the workspace. Our system extracts your salary breakup, TDS details, and employer information automatically. You then review the extracted values, make corrections if needed, and the workspace builds your filing draft. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
Yes. We have dedicated calculators for crypto tax (flat 30% under Section 115BBH) and capital gains on equity, mutual funds, and property. The calculators handle short-term vs long-term classification, indexation benefits, and show your exact tax liability.
TaxWala supports other income sources including freelance income. Enter your freelance earnings under 'Other Income' in the calculator or workspace. If your freelance income exceeds ₹50 lakhs, you may need to maintain books of accounts. Our ITR selector tool helps determine which ITR form you need.
