The Interview Notes that were previously repeated in each Scenario have been put in a separate document. This document also includes some general TWO hints and shortcuts.
There is a new problem (Brown) which is intended to be used as an introduction to TaxWise. It contains all tax forms and TWO quirks which occur in the eight Familiarization problems. We would expect it would be done live with new students so they can see everything at least once before they have to do problems on their own.
The Intake Sheet pages are no longer included in the Scenario files. This should make printing easier and use less paper when things change.
The Refund Monitors are now designed to be printed. This should make them look better. The format is improved, but the ScreenShot links are no longer in the Refund Monitor.
There is a new razzle-dazzle TWO-like ScreenShot viewer which should encourage students to use these more often as a way to trobleshoot and check their work.
