Abstract
A system for explaining tax questions for an electronic tax return preparation program includes a computing device having a tax logic agent and a user interface controller. The computing device executes the tax logic agent, which analyzes a completeness graph to identify a required variable. The tax logic agent also determines whether an explanation asset is indexed to the required variable in the completeness graph, and sends an identity of the required variable to a user interface controller. The user interface controller generates a tax question corresponding to the required variable. When the tax logic agent determines that an explanation asset is indexed to the required variable in the completeness graph, the computing device presents the tax question and the explanation asset. When an explanation asset is not indexed to the required variable in the completeness graph, the computing device presents the tax question without the explanation asset.
