Audit Support in TurboTax and TaxCut

If you use either TurboTax or TaxCut and you enter income tax information honestly and you e-file, chances are slim that your income tax return will be chosen for an audit. Still, both offer audit support:

TaxCut Worry-Free Audit Support is free if you e-file. This protection includes having an H&R Block tax professional assist with tax audit-related correspondence, audit preparation and provides an H&R Block agent to represent you during a tax audit.

TurboTax Audit Risk Meter and Audit Support Center is free with all TurboTax Online versions and all desktop versions except TurboTax Basic.

TurboTax also offers Audit Defense service to handle state and federal tax audit proceedings for $40.
