The research is in. You can get a larger tax refund by using a Clergy Tax Advisor.

The initial price of tax software ranges from $29.95 to $104.99. While that doesn’t sound expensive, it’s a small part of the total cost. The true cost of tax software is more than just the price you pay at checkout.
