Abstract
Computer-implemented methods, systems and articles of manufacture for assessing trustworthiness of electronic tax return data. Systems may include modular components including a confidence module that determines at least one attribute of a source of the electronic tax return data, determines a confidence score for the electronic tax return data based at least in part upon at least one source attribute, compares the confidence score and pre-determined criteria, and generates an output indicating whether the confidence score for the electronic tax return data satisfies the pre-determined criteria. When the confidence score does not satisfy the pre-determined criteria, the user can be presented with an alert or message. Confidence scores can be generated and may also be displayed for specific electronic tax return data or fields, a tax form or worksheet, an interview screen, a tax topic, or the tax return as a whole, e.g., for purposes of determining audit risk.
