Summary
H&R Block's TaxCut is the only income tax return software that comes with a guaranteed audit defense. That security does come at a cost though, as it is over 100% more expensive that TaxAct. If the IRS does ever come calling though, that additional $16 is going to be money well spent. |

| 100% accuracy guarantee or TaxCut pays the penalty & interest | |

| Free DeductionPro software (a $19.95 value) helps you maximize tax savings | |

| Cons | |
