2. Complete the following sentence. I am empowered to do right by my customer…

Explanation

Answer: The first and every time they contact us - You never have to ask permission or gain approval to do what you feel is right for your customer. This does not mean that you should offer refunds and free products to every upset customer you speak with, but instead this means that you are empowered to make the best decision based on your customer’s individual needs and create the best customer experience, helping them to complete their tax return with TurboTax.

Submit
3. You will experience a wide variety of customer questions and frustrations. Which of the following would be inappropriate behavior toward your customers?

Explanation

Answer: All answers are correct - Speaking in a monotone or disinterested voice. Expressing frustration towards your customers. Behaving in a condescending manner. All of these behaviors are inappropriate and should never be used during an interaction with your customers.

Submit
4. You are not required to follow a script verbatim but you do need to follow certain contact guidelines. Which of the following is not one of the required contact guidelines?

Explanation

Answer: Notify your customer of your location – You do not have to tell customers where you are located. You must always identify yourself and the company. Confirm that your customer has no additional issues. This can be done toward the end of the contact and always mention the recap email and survey they will receive.

Submit
5. Bob is calling for a refund. He bought TurboTax at Wal-Mart last week and installed it. He has been trying to log in for the last two days. He does not remember creating a user name and password. What should you do?

Explanation

Answer: Tell Bob that he may be trying to access the program from the wrong place. The CD version of TurboTax does not require a user name and password. If Bob bought TurboTax at retail then this is a CD version of TurboTax. TurboTax Online is what requires a user ID and password. Be sure to listen carefully as your customers explain their issue. This will prevent unneeded transfers and allow you to solve issues which, may at first, seem like they are beyond your scope.

Submit
6. Professionalism is defined in many ways. Which of the following is not a common characteristic of professionalism?

Explanation

Answer: Displaying sympathy - This is not considered professional and in fact can lead to more frustration for your customer. Empathy, on the other had is appropriate. Here are the definitions for both. It is important to understand the difference. Sympathy - A feeling or an expression of pity or sorrow for the distress of another. Empathy - Understanding another person's feelings. To empathize, you are acknowledging your customers emotions, but you do not pity or feel sorry for them.

7. Stan is contacting you because he placed an order several weeks ago and he still has not received it. Look up his order from the information that he gives you below. Then determine the next best steps:   Stan Marsh 4455 N. Sanderson South Park Colorado 81001 456 123 9874 [email protected]  

Explanation

Answer: Apologize for the inconvenience then correct the address and ship it out again. If you look closely at the address the order was shipped to, it’s 4455 N. Sanderson. In this situation sending out the order again would result in the same problem. But confirming the details will allow you to identify the true problem. Apologize for the trouble then ship it out again using expedited shipping

Submit
8. Use the brown_assessment.tax2009 file to answer the following question. Jerry said he does not need the 2106 and would like to remove it. Remove this form in the return then answer the following question. Does removing the 2106 from this return change the federal refund amount?

Explanation

Answer: No, the refund amount stays the same after removing the 2106.

This is because there was no data on the form that effected any calculations.

After following all the troubleshooting steps in the Troubleshooting Checklist you get to the section indicating what to do if all other troubleshooting steps have failed. What is the first thing listed in the Troubleshooting checklist that you should do if all the other steps have failed?

Explanation

Answer: Search the Defects and FAQ Requests QuickBase to make sure the issue hasn’t already been submitted.

11. Use the brown_assessment.tax2009 file to answer the following question. Jerry is concerned with Line L of the State and Local Income Tax Refund Worksheet. He does not know how this 7000 figure was put here. You ask him what color is the figure and he says it's an aqua light blue. What does an aqua figure mean?

Explanation

Answer: Aqua means it was transferred from last year. These figures can be directly edited in Forms mode if needed. Unlike a black figure which needs to be overridden in order to edit, it is OK to edit aqua figures because they aren’t calculated based on other figures. Understanding these colors is crucial for WOMR troubleshooting. An explanation of the colors can be found by typing ‘colors’ in the knowledgebase.

Submit

Explanation

Answer: A. You can inform Jerry that in order to remove the error he will need to remove the form if the error is requesting data which does not apply to his return.
B. Although, you need to be careful not to tell the customer what they should do, you can explain to them how TurboTax works. You can explain that a form will need to be deleted if a partially completed form is currently in the return and causing an error. You can them walk him through deleting a form. He can enter 0 in the field to get past the error.
C. This might get rid of the error, but having him enter a 0 to questions regarding a form which they should not have in their return is not a good idea. You should talk to Ask a Tax expert since this telling him what to do is tax advice - If your customer does not know if they should delete the form or not, or they are not sure if they have a qualifying Home Office, then this might come down to being an tax advice question.
