The do-it-yourself tax software programs have to comply with all of the tax laws and they are checked by the IRS. If you enter the same information into the programs ---- correctly--- then the results you get should be the same. Differences are the result of either entering something incorrectly or in the wrong place, or from leaving out information. And of course it is always tempting to believe the highest refund is the "right" one. You would need to print out the returns and compare them side by side to see what was different.
