Appl. No.:

13/250280

Inventors:

Mark Ciaramitaro - Leawood KS, US

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 31

Abstract:

A system, a method, and a computer program for performing an online, real-time tax consultation for preparation of a client's taxes by a tax agent, wherein the tax agent is remote from the client, and the system is implemented via an electronic, online application accessible via a communications network. Embodiments allow for a client desiring tax preparation of a tax return to initiate the tax preparation with a tax agent via an online, integrated platform; electronically upload or otherwise push the client's tax-related information and documents to the tax agent; participate in an online tax consultation so that the tax agent may investigate, learn, or otherwise obtain the tax information necessary for completing the client's tax return; and electronically approve and file the completed tax return.

Abstract:

Method, media, and system for authentication of a claimant as a claimed identity. Embodiments break the authentication process into two steps. In the first step, a registrant establishes an identity profile by presenting identity documents and authentication points that can later be used to verify that they are the person who established the identity profile. Subsequently, when a claimant claims the identity in the identity profile, an identity score and an authentication score can be calculated based on the identity profile and the information provided by the claimant. The authentication score measures how likely it is that the claimant is the same person who established the identity profile. The identity score measures how likely it is that the registrant is who they are claiming to be. The identity score and the authentication score can then be combined to determine the likelihood that the claimant actually corresponds to the claimed identity.

Appl. No.:

14/497625

Inventors:

- Las Vegas NV, US
Mark Ciaramitaro - Leawood KS, US

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

Abstract:

A computer program, a system, and a method facilitate transactions of taxpayer-specific items of information between taxpayers and third parties in a virtual venue. A set of taxpayer information related, at least in part, to a filed tax return of the taxpayer is received. The set of taxpayer information is filtered to obtain a marketable information set, which in turn includes taxpayer-specific items. A third-party value is obtained for each taxpayer-specific item, and the taxpayer is presented a sale value for each taxpayer-specific item. The taxpayer is presented an option to select at least one taxpayer-specific item to be sold in the virtual venue and an option for the taxpayer to select at least one third party to which to sell said at least one taxpayer-specific item. Upon the selection of the options by the taxpayer, the transaction is then processed and completed.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00
G06Q 50/26

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention detect fraudulently filed tax returns when a user prepares or submits a subject tax return that relates to a subject taxpayer for filing with a government taxing authority. Embodiments analyze tax information of various sources to determine whether the subject tax return is genuine (i.e., not fraudulent). The invention determines confidence indicators based upon some or all of a source location, a source type, data entry characteristics, refund vehicle characteristics, internal consistencies, external historical consistencies, external lateral consistencies, user authentication methods, and a taxpayer risk level. Based upon these analyses the invention calculates a taxpayer identity confidence score, which may be utilized to allow or deny the filing of the subject tax return.
