Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really free?
Yes, 100% free. TaxFreedom Phase 1 is a free ITR validator. No hidden charges, no credit card required.
What JSON files do I need?
Two files from incometax.gov.in: (1) This year's pre-filled JSON — available from June each year under "e-File → Income Tax Returns → Pre-filled Data", and (2) Last year's filed ITR JSON — under "e-File → View Filed Returns → Download JSON".
Is my data safe?
Your JSON files are parsed in your browser. We store only the extracted summary data (not the raw JSON) in your secure account. All data is protected by row-level security.
Can I file my ITR from here?
Phase 1 validates and advises. You'll still file on incometax.gov.in. We provide step-by-step instructions. Phase 2 (coming soon) will help generate the filing JSON directly.
Which ITR types are supported?
Currently ITR-2 and ITR-3. These cover salaried individuals with capital gains, house property, foreign assets, and business income. ITR-1 and ITR-4 support coming soon.
What if I only have one JSON file?
You can proceed with just the pre-filled JSON. The last year's ITR is optional but recommended — it enables cross-year validation and carry-forward loss detection.
