TaxAible IRIS Connector

Automates tax filing from TaxAible to FBR IRIS portal.

TaxAible IRIS Connector The Autonomous, Two-Way AI Bridge Between TaxAible and the Pakistan FBR IRIS Portal. Filing income tax returns on Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) IRIS portal often involves repetitive data entry, complex multi-schedule navigation, and unexpected calculation errors. TaxAible IRIS Connector bridges the gap between your TaxAible advisory workspace and the official FBR IRIS portal. Designed for individual taxpayers, business owners, and professional tax practitioners, the extension automates return filing, imports historical tax records, orchestrates bulk filings for accountants, reads statutory notices, and integrates directly with TaxAible's conversational AI tax engine. What Is New in the Latest Version Direct API Network Hook: Bypasses slow DOM typing and page lag by directly synchronizing calculation and save envelopes with the IRIS backend. Automated Draft Creation for Form 114(1): If no return exists for the target tax year, the connector dismisses portal announcements, selects the filing period, configures prerequisite income sources and residency, and initializes the official draft. Accountant Multi-Client Bulk Filing: Sequentially processes client returns in an ordered, resumable queue, complete with an in-app CAPTCHA relay and strict identity validation. Unified Multi-Stream Import: Extracts FBR Maloomat records (advance taxes, vehicle taxes, banking deductions, property transactions), prior-year returns, and wealth statements in a single run. FBR Notice and Correspondence Reader: Reads statutory notices, audit inquiries, and show-cause orders directly from the IRIS inbox for immediate AI-assisted legal defense drafting. Background Tab Execution: Routes execution timing through service workers to prevent Chrome background throttling, allowing operations to finish without requiring active window focus. Key Capabilities Automated Return Filing and Verification Accurate Code Mapping: Automatically matches TaxAible tax calculations, wealth assets, and liabilities to precise FBR statutory codes. Post-Save Verification Gate: Reads back saved data from the portal after writing to mathematically verify that every figure landed in the intended IRIS field. Calculation Error Diagnostics: Detects and parses IRIS backend validation errors, displaying clear explanations of rejected figures and code mismatches. Comprehensive Historical Data Import Multi-Source Retrieval: Retrieves previous wealth statements, filed declarations, and real-time withholding records. Itemized Record Retention: Maintains individual record identifiers, descriptions, and registration numbers for multiple properties, vehicles, and accounts instead of merging them into unidentifiable aggregates. Tax Year Reconciliation: Automatically filters transactions to align with the statutory Pakistani tax year (July 1 to June 30). Accountant and Enterprise Bulk-Filing Suite Resumable Client Queue: Manages multi-client filing runs with persistent database-backed queue states that survive browser restarts. In-App CAPTCHA Bridge: Surfaces each client's IRIS login CAPTCHA directly within the TaxAible interface, removing the need to manage dozens of open browser tabs. Strict Taxpayer Identity Guard: Verifies the open IRIS session against the client's NTN and CNIC before executing any changes, preventing cross-client draft contamination. AI Chatbot and Browser Automation Contextual Page Probing: Grants the TaxAible AI assistant permission to inspect form fields, verify draft statuses, and guide taxpayers through complex schedules. Multi-Year Comparative Analysis: Enables side-by-side comparisons of wealth statements and income declarations across multiple tax years on command. Statutory Notice Review: Extracts statutory citations from IRIS notices, allowing TaxAible to reference relevant sections of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 and structure formal responses. Document and Receipt Retrieval Initiates and manages direct downloads for official CPR payment receipts, filed return acknowledgments, and notice attachments. How It Works 1. Importing Data into TaxAible Navigate to your TaxAible dashboard and select "Import from IRIS". The connector interacts with your active IRIS session to gather previous returns, wealth statements, and registered withholding records. Data is reconciled, categorized, and populated into your active TaxAible workspace. 2. Filing a Single Return After finalizing your computation in TaxAible, select "Export to IRIS". The connector opens the IRIS portal, verifies or creates the Form 114(1) draft, populates all schedules via secure API payloads, validates the calculation, and saves the draft. The final review and PIN submission remain under your direct control. 3. Running Multi-Client Bulk Runs Tax practitioners select their target clients from the TaxAible dashboard and initiate a bulk run. The extension steps through each client sequentially: it logs in, displays the CAPTCHA in your workspace, transfers the data, verifies the draft, logs out, and advances to the next client. Privacy, Security, and Compliance Ephemeral Credential Handling: IRIS credentials are treated strictly as single-use inputs for automated sign-in and are cleared immediately after authentication. Passwords are never logged or stored by the extension. Strictly Scoped Host Permissions: The extension requests access only to official FBR domains (*.fbr.gov.pk) and TaxAible application endpoints. It does not request broad permissions across all websites. Guaranteed Human Control: The extension does not submit returns or authorize tax payments independently. Final submission requires the taxpayer or practitioner to enter their confidential 4-digit FBR PIN. Isolated Temporary Storage: Diagnostic logs and operational states are stored in isolated, temporary session storage and deleted upon completion.
