Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is one of the core mechanisms of revenue collection in the Indian tax system. While TDS helps in smooth tax inflow for the government, businesses, accountants, and tax consultants often face challenges in timely, accurate, and compliant TDS return filing. Manual processes, PAN errors, mismatches, and evolving regulations create significant room for mistakes. Computax TDS Filing Software is designed to overcome these challenges and provide a seamless experience for professionals handling TDS compliance.
Built by Computax, a company with decades of experience in Indian taxation software, this TDS module is powerful, secure, and user-friendly. Whether you are a CA, accountant, or business owner, Computax simplifies the filing of quarterly TDS and TCS returns, generates certificates, and ensures full compliance with the Income Tax Department.
All-In-One TDS Return Filing
Computax TDS Filing Software supports all TDS and TCS returns, including:
Form 24Q – Salary TDS
Form 26Q – Non-salary TDS
Form 27Q – TDS on payments to non-residents
Form 27EQ – Tax Collected at Source (TCS)
These forms are prepared as per the latest file formats issued by the Income Tax Department. Whether you're filing for individuals, companies, or multiple clients, Computax ensures every return is accurate and compliant. The software also supports quarterly and correction statements.
Professionals managing a large number of clients will benefit from multi-user functionality and bulk return filing tools, all from a single dashboard.
Seamless TRACES Integration
Computax TDS Software offers direct integration with the TRACES (TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System) portal. This allows users to download and manage:
Justification Reports
Consolidated (Conso) Files
Form 16 and Form 16A
PAN Verification Files
By eliminating manual logins and downloads, the software saves valuable time and minimizes errors during data reconciliation. The automatic download of Conso files helps users revise returns accurately and promptly.
Bulk PAN Validation and Auto Correction
Correct PAN information is essential for successful TDS return filing. Incorrect PANs can lead to mismatches, notices, and disallowed tax credits. Computax helps eliminate such errors through bulk PAN verification. Users can validate hundreds of PANs at once with real-time checks against the Income Tax Department’s database.
Additionally, if a return contains PAN mismatches or incorrect deductions, Computax identifies and highlights the issues instantly. Users can revise returns using correction statements — types C1 (Challan corrections), C2 (Deductee record updates), and C3 (PAN corrections) — all through a guided interface.
This smart correction feature ensures timely resolution of errors and prevents compliance penalties.
Form 16 & 16A Generation with Digital Signatures
A major part of TDS compliance is the generation and issuance of Form 16 (for salary) and Form 16A (for non-salary payments). Computax TDS Filing Software automates this task completely. After filing the returns, the software fetches TRACES certificates and merges them with the deductor’s information to generate final, printable versions.
The platform supports:
Bulk Form 16/16A generation
Digital signature integration (DSC)
Professional layout and format
Emailing certificates directly to employees or vendors
This feature is especially useful for mid-to-large organizations that need to issue thousands of certificates with accuracy and security.
Smart Interface for Multi-Client & Multi-GSTIN Handling
For tax professionals and firms managing multiple clients, Computax offers a centralized platform to manage all clients and their filing histories. Each client record can be maintained separately, including challans, deduction details, PAN data, filing dates, and more.
The dashboard offers a full overview of pending returns, filed reports, upcoming deadlines, and compliance status. This functionality ensures that nothing slips through the cracks — improving service quality and reducing missed filings.
Real-Time Computation and Error Checks
Computax TDS Filing Software automatically calculates:
Applicable TDS amounts
Interest and late fee penalties under Section 201 and 234E
Quarterly and annual summaries
Deduction thresholds and slab-wise rates
The auto-calculation ensures that there are no manual errors in computation, saving both time and stress. Before submission, the software runs multiple validations and points out missing or inconsistent data. This helps in reducing rejection rates from the CPC (Centralized Processing Cell).
Statutory Compliance and Utility Support
Computax stays fully aligned with the Income Tax Department’s electronic filing system. The software generates .FVU files, which are required for uploading returns through NSDL's TIN-FC or online portal. Updates are regularly released to match the latest FVU versions and schema changes.
Moreover, Computax allows easy conversion of Form 24Q and Form 26Q data into the proper file formats, ready for upload without needing external utility tools. This compatibility ensures that filings go through without technical issues.
Secure Storage and Audit-Ready Reports
All filings and certificates are securely stored within the software. User roles can be defined for access control, maintaining the confidentiality of client data. The data can be backed up or exported to external storage for future auditing or client queries.
Computax also generates:
Deductor master files
Monthly and quarterly summaries
Tax liability and deduction reports
Audit-ready checklists for tax scrutiny
These reports simplify internal tracking and reduce the time spent preparing for audits or responding to notices.
Training, Updates, and Support
One of Computax’s greatest strengths is its strong support network. The company offers onboarding support, live webinars, tutorials, and technical help to ensure users can make full use of the software.
Whether it’s a new rule in TDS computation or a format change in Form 16, users are promptly informed and the software is updated accordingly. With support available via phone, email, and remote access, users never feel stranded — even during peak filing seasons.

Computax TDS Software is priced flexibly, catering to individual tax consultants, small accounting firms, and large enterprise teams. Plans can be selected based on:
Number of returns
Number of clients
Single-user or multi-user access
