Answer in brief
To download Form 16 and 16A, see TDS defaults and file corrections, your TAN needs a TRACES login and a TAN login on the income tax e-filing site. We register the TAN on TRACES using details from your last filed statement, activate it, then register the same TAN on e-filing so returns like Form 144 can be uploaded.
Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
