Question

Dear sir

when tried to save JSON file from excel utility of Income Tax Return its not get saved or created either in defined destination or anywhere in PC

Answer 1

I also faced the issue and found the reason and fixed...

So anyone facing this issue can try the below unless there is any step missing and the utility is throwing validation..

1. Search turn windows feature on or off
2. Click on the plus sign against .NET framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)
3. Select the new option and that option as well
4. click on okay.... restart the excel based utility and then try generating the json again.

Answer 2

By default under 365 excel data is saved to OneDrive, you have to use saveAs to name the doc

JSON files can be opened in a text editor eg notepad
