Tax expert systems begin to be feasible in accounting offices

Article Abstract:

Computer expert systems are taking on an increasingly significant role in the tax profession, particularly for tax consultants. Extant expert systems have become successful substitutes for accomplishing forms and paper checklists. Such expert systems may equal or even surpass tax accountants in the ability to resolve problems in taxation in the future. The value of expert systems lies in its ability to iron-out contradictions and disputes in information related to tax issues. Development of the system depends to a large extent on the use of expert system shells. These shells provide for easy usage of spreadsheets and can assist in enhancing an accounting firm's tax technology. The VP-Expert shell facilitates the ease of expert system use. Hypertext is a shell program built with an explanation facility.
