Income Tax (ITR)
Auto-populate from Form 168 (formerly 26AS)
Pull TDS, advance tax, self-assessment tax, refunds, and high-value transactions from Form 168 directly into the ITR draft.
Auto-populate from Form 168 (Tax Passbook)
Form 168 is the new name for Form 26AS from FY 2026-27. It consolidates 26AS + AIS + TIS into a single passbook.
Pull Form 168
ITR → Returns → New → Pick client + FY → Auto-populate from Form 168
- ThynkTax pulls Form 168 via the ERI integration (Income Tax e-Return Intermediary).
- OTP - first fetch in the session asks for an OTP sent to the assessee's mobile.
- Form 168 is fetched and parsed. The TDS, TCS, advance tax, self-assessment tax, refunds, and high-value transactions are populated into the relevant ITR schedules.
What gets auto-filled
- Schedule TDS1 - salary TDS (from Form 130 = formerly Form 16)
- Schedule TDS2 - non-salary TDS (from Form 131 = formerly Form 16A)
- Schedule TCS - TCS (from Form 27D)
- Schedule IT - advance tax + self-assessment tax challans
- Schedule SI - special-rate income disclosed in Form 168 (LTCG, dividends, etc.)
- Schedule SFT - high-value transactions (cash deposits ≥ ₹10L, immovable property ≥ ₹30L, etc.)
What doesn't auto-fill
- Salary breakdown - populated from Form 130 separately
- House property income - needs manual entry
- Capital gains - needs broker statement import (see Import capital gains)
Reconciliation
The wizard then reconciles auto-filled values against the assessee's books. Any discrepancy (TDS shown in Form 168 but not in books) is flagged for review - typically caught at this step are missing TDS certificates not yet issued by the deductor.
