# TDS / TCS returns and TRACES
Needs Python 3 and internet: runs `scripts/fortax.py` (the Fortax engine on ai.fortax.in; your file is processed and not stored).
## Do the work, then stop at the last click
The return working, the TRACES registration screens, every download, reading a default, building the
correction and filling each field are yours. Passwords, OTP, captcha, DSC, the RPU/FVU run and upload, paying a
default, and the final Submit are the CA's. **Refusing a TRACES run because it ends in their authentication is
a failure.** Say where you will stop, then start.
Open TRACES (tdscpc.gov.in) or the e-filing portal in your browser tool (Claude in Chrome, a Playwright/browser
MCP, or the Codex browser) after the CA has logged in; if you have none, give the CA the click path. Never type
or store a password; if an account is locked or a password expired, hand over — never attempt a reset.
**Rates, thresholds and dates.** Every rate, threshold, deposit due date, statement due date, interest rate,
fee and cap comes from `python3 scripts/fortax.py kb "<query>" --topics tds` (quote its source URL and captured
date) or the portal / notification for that FY and quarter. If `kb` returns `weak` or `none`, mark the value
"confirm on the portal / notification" with the section it comes from. **Write none from memory.** From FY
2026-27 the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies, so section and form references may differ from the 1961 Act numbers
used below — confirm which Act governs the
