Abstract
Computer-implemented methods, systems and articles of manufacture for determining which questions to present to a user of a modular tax preparation application in which analysis of tax logic by the tax logic agent is separate from interview screens generated by the user interface controller. A topic engine of the modular tax preparation application is configured or programmed to predict which tax topics are applicable to the current electronic tax return based at least in part upon a data of a prior year tax return. Other sources besides the current tax return being prepared and the prior year tax return may also be utilized for topic determination. The tax logic agent generates a non-binding suggestion for the user interface controller based at least in part upon an output generated by the topic engine.
