Part 2 interactive widgets

Color-first flashcard study tools · tax year 2025 · clean 2D charts only

Tax year 2025 D1 blue D2 teal D3 purple Diagnostic home

How to use — flashcard board

Each widget opens with a colored “What this does” card, then short callouts for rules, examples, traps, and answers — built for visual learners who study with color. Domain colors stay consistent: D1 blue · D2 teal · D3 purple/amber. Priority tags wear Priority. Charts are 2D only (stacked bars, lines, donuts) — no 3D. Study tools only — not official IRS software.
