Income Tax Filing: IT Dept launches ‘TAXASSIST’ to help with queries and notices | Here is how it works
Months ahead of the 15 September 2025 deadline for filing income tax returns for FY 2024–25, the Income Tax Department has launched a support service called ‘TAXASSIST’ to help taxpayers with queries and notices during the current filing season.
As part of this campaign, the Income Tax Department sends messages or emails to taxpayers, reminding them of important notices or other tax-related actions.
Describing the latest initiative, the Income Tax Department said: “Introducing TAXASSIST, your go-to support for all tax concerns! From helping you navigate departmental communications and keeping your finances in check, to reminding you of key tax deadlines. This campaign is designed to guide, support, and simplify.”
The post shared an example highlighting three scenarios in which a taxpayer claimed a deduction under Section 80GGC—a provision that allows tax deductions for donations made to political parties or electoral trusts. The Income Tax Department outlined these scenarios to show how TAXASSIST can assist taxpayers in managing and responding to 80GGC-related claims.
