TAP X05-009 VITA/TCE Training Materials

TAP X05-009

VITA/TCE Training Materials

Statement of Issue:

Members of the Committee were asked to review and reformat Publication 3189, Volunteer E-File Administrator Guide and review and rewrite the comprehensive and integrated problems in Publication 678, Volunteer Assistor's Guide for use in Volunteer Programs.

Proposal:

The TAP members worked with six IRS tax analysts from various IRS offices and two people representing AARP to address the assigned tasks. It was the recommendation of the team that problems CW and CP be rewritten as integrated problems that could be used when teaching the TaxWise software. Problem A is already in this format. It was further recommended that these three problems be removed from Pub 678 and be placed in the front of the existing test booklet. Two Groups of TAP Panel Members participated in this activity.

Response Notes:

The result was a multiplicity of changes to each publication and a thorough test of all problems contained therein. The problems were run both manually and by using “Taxwise” software. Corrections were forwarded to a central group within SPEC for inclusion in the publications prior to print
