Reconcile tax credits, compute, and review an ITR
Use 26AS / AIS to reconcile deductor-wise TDS and Computation to run the entitled provider engine for the supported contract. Then use Review to clear pre-file errors and assess warnings.

Import and reconcile Form 26AS
Obtain the current Form 26AS PDF and remove its password in an approved secure process. Open 26AS / AIS. Click Upload 26AS (OCR) and select the PDF. Review the parser/source badge and import date. In-house parsing may be free; provider OCR fallback can consume a credit. Compare TDS per 26AS, Claimed in return, the delta, and Pending verdicts. For every deductor row, verify deductor, TAN, section, 26AS income, 26AS TDS, and return TDS. Select the evidence-backed verdict: Match when the statement and return-side credit align; Accept — carry into return only after confirming the credit…
The tab is labelled 26AS / AIS, but the current upload path exposes Form 26AS, not a full AIS/TIS import and reconciliation flow. Review AIS/TIS and prefill externally and add only verified results through supported sources.
Run the computation
Return to Computation and confirm sources, AY, regime, filing type, and resolved form. Click Compute (new + old) only when provider entitlement and credits are approved. The UI indicates two credits for the two-regime run. Wait for both stored computations. Review Gross income, Taxable income, Total tax, TDS credits, and Refund/Payable. Compare the new- and old-regime snapshots line by line. Review any engine form, contract flags, missing totals, or unexpected values against an independent computation. Recompute whenever a source, verdict, regime, filing type, form, or tax assumption changes.
The provider engine is gated by entitlement. A not enabled result is a real boundary, not a zero-tax computation. The response parser is deliberately tolerant and parts of the non-individual request contract are not pinned; independently validate all figures and form selection.
Run pre-file review
Open Review. Checks run on entry; click Re-run checks after changes. Clear every error, including missing PAN/income, not-computed/failed/not-enabled compute, pending 26AS lines, and excess credit. Review warnings for stale computation, unpinned provider contract, form mismatch, missing 26AS, and regime-specific prerequisites such as Form 10-IEA. Open the linked tab for each finding and correct the underlying data. Review the computation snapshot for the selected and alternative regime. Re-run until errors are zero. A clean run marks the workpaper Reviewed when its preceding state permits…
Warnings are not automatically harmless. Resolve them or document an eligible review conclusion before hand-off.
Expected result
No 26AS verdict remains pending, the current source version has an entitled and independently checked computation, and Review has no blocking errors. The workpaper is ready for export and portal hand-off, not direct filing.
