How to choose income tax & tds software

Separate individual filing apps from practitioner suites. A CA firm needs bulk import, staff roles and audit reports; an individual needs a guided flow and a fixed fee.

Check how quickly the vendor ships updates after Budget changes and portal schema updates — delays here cost filing deadlines.

For TDS, confirm challan matching and correction-statement support; that is where most manual time goes.

What to look for

  • ITR-1 to ITR-7 preparation and e-filing
  • TDS returns (24Q, 26Q, 27Q) with FVU validation
  • Form 16 and 16A generation
  • Tax audit reports (3CA/3CB/3CD)
  • Bulk client management
  • AIS/26AS import and reconciliation
  • Computation and advance-tax planning
  • Notices and compliance calendar
