Have been using Quicko for a while for the simple Zerodha integration. But their website is acting weird and I’m getting a lot of errors when connecting accounts. Considering Cleartax now.
What do you use? Pros and cons would be great.
Old regime/new regime?
Does Quicko automatically add LTCG exemption or that part we still need to do, if applicable?

What is the point of old regime anyway 
My father who is in the topmost tax bracket (for salaried people) has seen considerable savings in the newest regime

We use a Chartered Accountant who files on behalf of our whole family of 4 members.
I pay my manager to do it for me for a monthly fee..
We have a similar arrangement. My brother’s friend is a CA and I think he’s using clear tax services.
Last I checked, if you have things like HRA, insurance and other tax-saving instruments, there’s still some threshold over which old-regime saves more, depending on the value of those instruments.
Been doing it through clear tax for couple of years. It has become a paid service now but good enough and easy to use.
BTW, someone on the forum is offering CA services: Freelance CA services [Affordable and Reliable]
New regime. As others said, old regime doesn’t make sense for most unless there are significant deductions to be claimed.
It used to. Haven’t managed to file with its new interface yet.
I would connect the securities accounts so it could figure out holding periods and calculate everything. I guess most of the platforms can do this though.
Yes, seriously considering this too. Seems way more usable since it was updated.

Hey @runofthemillgeek thankyou for mentioning me on this thread
People mentioning Income Tax website, Quicko, Cleartax for filing returns
Income Tax portal, Quicko has lots of bugs, glitches and can’t file complicated returns
Cleartax is good but pricing is little high
Most of the CA professionals use CA-ERP - Complicated but has most advanced features
And I’ll take a moment to promote myself I’m a CA student want to build some client base and I’ll file your ITR at a very nominal fee
If any one has questions regarding ITR and other finance related stuff feel free to reply or give a pm
There’s a lot that goes into saving your taxes. Especially if there are capital gains or future & options transactions. Don’t use online portals, most don’t even manage to do it right. Using the department’s website with self populating data is very hazardous. You’re better off using a cheap service even.
You can DM me if you want to save a buck legally or understand grey areas.
We do pretty exhaustive work. It’s not quick or cheap, but you save some hard cash. Simple ones are cheap tho.
Same here, been that way for years
My father is 75 years 9 months old and he is being charged for income tax still. How can he be saved from being taxed even now?
