Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe?

Yes. Everything is processed in your browser or in-memory on the server. No data is stored anywhere — no database, no cloud, no cookies. We have no way to access your information.

Is this really free?

Yes, completely free for personal use. No hidden charges, no premium lock, no upsell. We may add advanced features (capital gains from brokerage, multi-employer) as paid options later.

Does this tool file my ITR directly?

No. TaxShield computes your tax, compares regimes, and gives you a reference card with all values. You then file on the official portal yourself (online mode) — verifying with your own Aadhaar OTP.

What if parsing is wrong?

All extracted values are editable. For best accuracy, use the Pre-filled JSON from the portal (100% accurate). PDF parsing is a convenience fallback.

Which ITR forms are supported?

ITR-1 (income up to ₹50L) and ITR-2 (income above ₹50L, with dividends/capital gains). Business income (ITR-3/4) is not yet supported.

Is this legal?

Yes. TaxShield is a computation and advisory tool — like a calculator. You file the return yourself on the official government portal.
