Abstract

A computer-implemented method for collecting tax data for an electronic tax return preparation program includes a tax logic agent reading a user data profile indexed to a user ID for a user to identify an identifier of a missing datum. The method also includes a match system identifying a data source corresponding to the identifier of the missing datum. The method further includes the match system generating a partition for the user data profile. Moreover, the method includes a dispatch system generating a target queue for the data source using the partition. The target queue includes the identifier of the missing datum. In addition, the method includes a data collector querying the data source based on the target queue to collect data corresponding to the identifier of the missing datum. The method also includes an importer generating a modified user data profile using the collected data.
