Abstract

A system for acquiring tax data during preparation of an electronic tax return includes a client computer executing a browser, a browser rendering computer in communication with the client computer, and a machine learning system utilized by the browser rendering computer. The client computer is configured to present a tax preparation webpage, and receive interface data representing s first user's interactions with a first tax data source website. The browser rendering computer is configured to execute the machine learning system, derive navigation information for the first tax data source website, generate rendering instructions for the first tax data source website, and transmit the rendering instructions to the client computer. The client computer is also configured to execute the rendering instructions to implement a second browser that presents a tax data source webpage that is controllable by a user independently of the tax preparation webpage.
