In a major drive to help taxpayers file returns, the Income Tax Department today offered to provide expert services at door-steps in the four metros and some major cities like Bangalore, Jaipur and Patna.Also, it has started 'Online Tax Help' to provide professional services to resolve tax-filing related queries by tax experts through email or phone within 24 hours.To avail these facilities, a taxpayer will have to visit the website www.trpscheme.com
Under the 'Register for Home Visit' initiative, Tax Return Preparer (TRP) will visit the residence of the assessee to provide assistance in return filing.
Taxpayers who choose to register for home visit, will be asked to indicate in short the help required and a convenient date and time when the TRP can visit them for assistance.
TRPs are allowed to collect fee from the taxpayers as per the TRP notification subject to a maximum of Rs 250 per return preparation.
The TRP scheme is an initiative of the I-T Department to help small and marginal tax payers in filing their income tax returns.
I was told that you need to be a registered voter to get this type of assistance. I feel that was a piece of invalid information. I am currently seeking out irs tax help, looking under every metaphoric rock for some assistance. At least I am now informed about this program. Thanks for the information.
