Outcome snapshots

Examples of the kind of cleanup this workflow enables. Not testimonials, and not promises.

Missing interest found

AIS showed bank and broker interest that was not in the estimate. Added it to Other income and rechecked.

Outcome: fewer surprises at filing time
Form 16 mismatch narrowed

Taxable income differed due to declaration caps. Adjusted entered deductions to eligible amounts.

Outcome: mismatch reduced to a review list
Capital gains made consistent

Computed totals in Advanced, applied them to 111A and 112A, then reconciled against AIS.

Outcome: clean export for CA handoff

Typical pain points SalTax fixes
Regime choice based on real eligibility
Avoid choosing a regime based on optimistic deductions. Use caps and reconcile against payroll.
Form 16 mismatch
Spot which exemptions or deductions were not processed by payroll, then fix inputs systematically.
AIS income you forgot
Interest and dividends are easy to miss. AIS acts like a checklist of what institutions reported.
Capital gains entry
Compute totals cleanly and map them to 111A and 112A instead of mixing them into slab income.

Common questions
Is SalTax only for old vs new regime comparison?

No. The comparison is step one. The bigger win is reconciliation with Form 16 and AIS or 26AS so you do not file with missing income or wrong eligibility.

What if I changed jobs this year?

Use multi-employer mode in Guided. Then use Reconcile in Workspace to match totals and credits across employers.

Where do I enter equity capital gains?

Use Advanced for the detailed capital gains grid, then apply totals to STCG 111A and LTCG 112A when applicable.
