TWONLINE User Administration • If you have control of a twonline EFIN, you are asked to establish training user ids for the students in your classes • Use AARPnn ids • If you have questions, I can help • Remember to disable the ids before tax season starts • If you do not have control of a twonline EFIN, your DC will set you up with training ids
TWONLINE, cont. • Plan to assign TWO user ids to new volunteers at the first class meeting • Plan to assign TWO user ids to returning students 2 weeks before class via email
LINK AND LEARN ONLINE TESTS • Online test taking reduces paperwork and eliminates grading • Instructions for accessing TWO/training and online tests, can be found on slide sets for new volunteer classes. • There is a handout containing information for accessing TWO/training and online tests • For distribution in new volunteer classes • For email distribution to returning volunteers two weeks before class
L & L ONLINE TESTS • In an ideal world, volunteers would pass the tests online by the end of class • Paper tests are accepted • There is a process for certifying after the conclusion of the class • More on this later • This year electronic signatures by volunteers, but not by certifiers, are accepted on volunteer agreements
Have a great tax year Have fun
