TaxBuddy review
A broad Indian tax-filing service for filers who want expert help with complex returns.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
TaxBuddy is an Indian online income-tax filing platform for salaried taxpayers, freelancers, professionals, investors, NRIs, startups and small businesses. It supports both self-service filing and expert-assisted return preparation through its web platform and Android app. Coverage includes salary, house property, business and professional income, capital gains, F&O, cryptocurrency and foreign income. TaxBuddy also includes tax planning, advance-tax calculation, notice response and tracking, and ITR refund-status tracking.
Pricing is annual and paid. The listed starting price is ₹699 per year, while assisted plans include ₹999 for salary with one house property and ₹1,099 for salary with more than one house property. Business and professional income costs ₹2,499, capital gains ₹2,999, and F&O or cryptocurrency cases ₹4,499 per year. The NRI plan is ₹4,499, while the basic resident foreign-income plan is ₹4,999. These plans add coverage for increasingly complex income types, including multiple capital gains, speculative income, RSU or ESOP income, foreign salary, foreign-tax relief and DTAA tax relief. Annual prices are exclusive of taxes, and GST may apply.
Its strongest fit is for taxpayers who want assistance across several income categories rather than a narrow salary-only filing workflow. Form 16 upload, income auto-import, Form 26AS and AIS data matching support document collection and return preparation. The platform also supports rental-income reporting, audit support, notice handling and compliance-related workflows. For businesses and partners, TaxBuddy offers white-label ITR filing APIs, token-based SSO and webview integration for partner web and mobile applications. Choose it if assisted filing and broad income coverage matter more than a free option. A simpler self-service product may suit filers with straightforward returns and no need for expert support.
