TurboTax sets the standard for user-friendly, reliable tax products.  Offering excellent error checking and on-screen guidance, they offer the most intuitive tax products on the market. TurboTax also offers unparalleled tax support.  For $39.95 you can have a professional CPA review your tax return for errors.  Also for $39.95, you can purchase Audit Defense, which means that TurboTax will represent you in the event that you are audited by the IRS. The only drawback of TurboTax is that they offer expensive tax products when compared with competitors TaxAct and CompleteTax, who offer a lot of the same services at a drastically lower cost.
