Got an email today from Drake software to download a free trial of their software, and that got my pea brain thinking... Would there be an advantage to having two tax software programs? If you had an issue with one program, then could you prepare  that return on the other tax software?? I guess. You could also compare the two tax software programs, and maybe figure out what is going on if there is an issue with one program?. Of course the additional expense may not be worth it. I don't know,  just thinking, which I know I shouldn't do.
