TDS Working File
The quarterly TDS workspace for businesses and CAs — deductee & employee masters, an auto TDS register, challan reconciliation and filing-ready 24Q, 26Q & 27Q returns with Form 16 / 16A, all in one place.
TDS still runs on a patchwork of spreadsheets
Return software files what you already organised. The working file — where every deduction is recorded, every challan mapped and every PAN chased — has only ever been Excel, rebuilt quarter after quarter.
A register per client, rebuilt each quarter
Separate sheets for salary, non-salary and non-resident TDS — copied forward and re-keyed every three months.
Hunting for PANs, sections, rates & codes
Looking up the right section, rate, payment code and threshold for every payment, by hand, every time.
Challans that never quite reconcile
Matching challans to deductions at quarter-end — and discovering short or unmapped amounts only when the return won’t validate.
One TDS workspace for every TAN
TDS Working File productises the layer between deduction and return. Record each payment, let the app compute the section, rate, code and TDS, reconcile your challans, and produce filing-ready 24Q / 26Q / 27Q returns and Form 16 / 16A — for one company or a whole portfolio of clients. Built for the Income Tax Act 2025 (Section 392 / 393) and FY 2026-27.
Everything the quarterly TDS file needs
Deductee & employee masters
Add a vendor or employee once with PAN and default section; the register then auto-fills section, rate and code every time.
Auto TDS register
Enter a payment, pick the party — section, rate and TDS compute instantly, including the 194Q excess and no-PAN higher-rate rules.
Challan reconciliation
Every challan tracks how much is utilised and what’s still to map — nothing slips through to the return.
24Q salary — Part A & Part B
Full salary TDS computation, new vs old regime, Section 10 / 16 / Chapter VI-A, with a print-ready computation and per-month TDS.
26Q & 27Q registers
Domestic non-salary and non-resident (Section 195 / DTAA) deductions, each in their own register with the right codes and forms.
Form 16 / 16A workings
Part-A / Part-B salary certificates and 16A workings built straight from the register — ready to issue.
Filing-ready reports
Month-end payment reports (section-wise) and quarter-end filing reports (challans + mapped deductees) in the new-form structure.
Connects to Payroll
Pull the employee master and monthly gross from the CalcGuru Payroll apps into 24Q with one click — no re-keying salary.
CA multi-company console
Consultants see every client in one place; companies see only their own — with role-based team access and client logins.
From deduction to filing-ready in six steps
Add your company & TAN
Set up your company — or every client TAN — once, and choose the forms you run (24Q / 26Q / 27Q).
Add deductees & employees
Build the master with PAN and default section; or pull employees from Payroll for 24Q.
Enter payments or salary
Record each payment — section, rate, code and TDS are computed for you, the no-PAN and 194Q rules included.
Map your challans
Add challans and map deductions to them; the file tracks utilised vs pending so nothing is short.
Reconcile
Check that every deduction is mapped and every challan accounted for before the quarter closes.
Produce returns & Form 16/16A
Generate filing-ready 24Q / 26Q / 27Q reports and the Form 16 / 16A workings to issue.
