## How to file your FY 2025-26 income tax return without a CA with Itr Wala

Repo: [karanb192/itr-wala](https://github.com/karanb192/itr-wala) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 1 hour | Basis: From the README

Turn Form 16 and AIS into a checked, regime-compared filing pack for the income tax portal.

**Who it is for:** A salaried or investing Indian taxpayer with Form 16 and AIS for April 2025 to March 2026 who wants to file without paying a CA or spending hours on the portal.

**The problem:** Portal filing means transcribing many figures, choosing a tax regime, and checking TDS, and a single transposed digit can cause a tax notice.

**The outcome:** A filing pack with every portal field and value, a regime comparison with exact rupee savings, and a final payable or refund figure to match on the portal. You still pay, submit, and e-verify yourself.

### Steps

1. `git clone https://github.com/karanb192/itr-wala.git`
2. `cd itr-wala && ./install.sh`
3. `python3 skills/itr-wala/scripts/test_tax_engine.py`
4. Open your agent and say "file my ITR", then hand it your Form 16 and AIS.
5. Review the filing pack, then pay, submit, and e-verify on the portal yourself.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the itr-wala repo at <repo-path>, run the self-test, then extract income from the Form 16 and AIS in <documents-folder> into income.json for FY 2025-26. Produce the old and new regime comparison and the portal filing pack. Expected output: a comparison table and one final payable or refund figure; verify the self-test ends with OK and that TDS matches the AIS total before you report.
```

### Caveat

The bundled walkthrough covers FY 2025-26 only, and the tool does not file for you, so you must pay, submit, and e-verify on the portal yourself.

Risk, credentials: Form 16 and AIS contain PAN, Aadhaar, and account numbers that the model will read, so redact them first; the skill never sees your portal password or OTP.

## How to plan FY 2026-27 advance tax payments and due dates with Itr Wala

Repo: [karanb192/itr-wala](https://github.com/karanb192/itr-wala) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Get the next advance-tax amount and its due date from your expected income and TDS.

**Who it is for:** A self-employed person or investor with income that is not fully covered by employer TDS, who must pay advance tax for FY 2026-27.

**The problem:** Advance tax has cumulative targets and dates, and working out what is still owed after TDS and earlier payments is easy to get wrong.

**The outcome:** A payment plan that shows how much to pay next and by when, based on your as-of date, expected income, expected TDS, and receipts for advance tax already paid.

### Steps

1. `git clone https://github.com/karanb192/itr-wala.git`
2. `cd itr-wala && ./install.sh`
3. `python3 skills/itr-wala/scripts/validate_income.py skills/itr-wala/assets/example-advance-fy2026-27.json`
4. `python3 skills/itr-wala/scripts/tax_engine.py skills/itr-wala/assets/example-advance-fy2026-27.json`
5. Open your agent and say "Plan my advance tax for FY 2026-27", then give it your as-of date, expected income, expected TDS, and receipts.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In the itr-wala repo at <repo-path>, run the advance-tax validator and engine on a FY 2026-27 income file for <your-income-file>. Expected output: the amount to pay next and its due date, with late fees and interest excluded from the target; verify the validator accepts the file and that no future payment is counted as already paid.
```

### Caveat

The FY 2026-27 return forms and portal fields still need verification, so the tool only covers advance-tax targets for that year, and you approve every estimate yourself.

## How to recheck an old FY 2025-26 tax result after the 1.3.0 fix with Itr Wala

Repo: [karanb192/itr-wala](https://github.com/karanb192/itr-wala) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Recompute your FY 2025-26 tax to see whether an earlier install understated new-regime tax.

**Who it is for:** A taxpayer who used an Itr Wala install older than 1.3.0 for FY 2025-26, with special-rate gains or income above ₹12 lakh.

**The problem:** Installs before 1.3.0 could understate new-regime tax when rebate or marginal relief applied, so an earlier result may be wrong.

**The outcome:** A recomputed FY 2025-26 result from the corrected engine, to compare with your filed return and any processing intimation.

### Steps

1. `git clone https://github.com/karanb192/itr-wala.git`
2. `cd itr-wala && ./install.sh`
3. Update your install using the instructions in docs/rebate-correction.md for your install route.
4. `python3 skills/itr-wala/scripts/tax_engine.py skills/itr-wala/assets/example-income.json`
5. Run the same command on your own income file and compare the new-regime total with your filed return.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the itr-wala repo at <repo-path>, update to version 1.3.0 or later, then recompute the FY 2025-26 tax for <your-income-file>. Expected output: a recomputed new-regime total and the difference from the earlier result; verify the engine version is 1.3.0 or later before comparing with the filed return.
```

### Caveat

A model-independent engine can still contain bugs, so the tests do not replace your own review of the recomputed numbers.

## How to compare old and new tax regimes with exact rupee savings with Itr Wala

Repo: [karanb192/itr-wala](https://github.com/karanb192/itr-wala) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

See the tax under each regime side by side and which one saves more.

**Who it is for:** A taxpayer choosing between the old and new regimes for FY 2025-26 who wants a figure-level comparison instead of a rough guess.

**The problem:** The regime gap can be large, and working out deductions, surcharge, and cess under both regimes by hand is error-prone.

**The outcome:** A side-by-side table of gross income, deductions, slab tax, special-rate tax, cess, interest, and net payable for both regimes, with the recommended regime and the rupee saving.

### Steps

1. `git clone https://github.com/karanb192/itr-wala.git`
2. `cd itr-wala && ./install.sh`
3. `python3 skills/itr-wala/scripts/tax_engine.py skills/itr-wala/assets/example-income.json`
4. Copy the example income file, replace its figures with your own, and run the validator on it.
5. Run the engine on your validated file to read the recommended regime and the rupee saving.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In the itr-wala repo at <repo-path>, validate <your-income-file> for FY 2025-26, then run the tax engine on it. Expected output: old and new regime totals with the recommended regime and the rupee saving; verify the validator passes before you report the comparison.
```

### Caveat

The bundled example figures are fictional, so your own validated income file must supply the real numbers before any regime choice is relied on.
