Individuals are required to pay various taxes such as advance tax, self-assessment tax, and TDS/TCS throughout the year. 


While filing an income tax return, these taxes that have been already paid can be claimed as tax credits and hence reduce the tax payable.

 
There are three ways to add tax credits:


Autofill Tax Credits

  • In the Filing tab, navigate to work on your tax return → tax credit
  • Tap on the autofill
  • Select the method to connect with your ITD account
    • OTP on Aadhar Registered Mobile Number 
    • ITD Portal Credentials
  • Tap on authorize 

On successful connection with the ITD, you will see the tax credits details on the next screen.


The autofill feature will help in fetching your tax credits details directly from the ITD.



Upload Form 26AS


Form 26AS is a consolidated tax credit statement that provides the details of TDS or TCS from your various sources of income.

  • In the Filing tab, navigate to work on your tax return > tax credits
  • Scroll down, tap on continue to upload Form 26AS, 
  • Then, upload Form 26AS in PDF

On successful uploading, you will see the details of your tax credits


Note:
You can download your Form 26AS from the Income-tax e-filing website.
