I don't know how to explain, but keeping hopes on ITR is becoming diminished day by day. Everyday checking the portal and ranting here is becoming an habit to me.

Hi everyone,

I’m a tax consultant in India and currently filing around 25–30 ITRs per year. My practice is still small, so I don’t want to invest in very expensive CA-level software.

I’m looking for a budget-friendly income tax software that is:

• Good for small volume (not bulk practice)
• Easy to use (less time-consuming)
• Supports all ITR forms (ITR-1 to ITR-4 mainly, sometimes others)
• Reliable and regularly updated as per income tax rules

I’ve heard about options like ClearTax, TaxCloud, CompuTax, EasyOffice, etc., but not sure which one is actually worth it for a small consultant.

From what I’ve seen, some tools are better for large firms and may not justify cost for my scale. Also open to cloud-based tools if they are affordable.

Would really appreciate suggestions from people who are using software for similar volume 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Just received “Refund Issued” email from ITR.

Filed ITR 3 on Aug 25 last year. Had received an intimation nudge in Feb this year.

Happy Day :)

Best of luck to the rest of you out there. If I’ve received it, then you’ll definitely be receiving it soon.

Genuine curiosity here.

I’ve been spending time with a few CA friends lately and observing how they run their practice day to day not the actual CA work, but the operational side. Managing clients, tracking things, coordinating, following up.

Didn’t want to assume anything so asking directly.

For those running individual practices or small firms, what actually frustrates you on a daily basis operationally?

I registered my firm recently, but the date of commencement is 04-02-2025. Now on the portal I am trying to file for return periods 2024–25 and 2025–26, but the amounts are showing 0 (weird), Could anyone please help me out? Thanks much!
