After you file

You asked how there could be a huge difference between the results of using TurboTax and Tax Act.  You received an explanation.   The only way to tell if everything was entered exactly the same into both programs is to look at the Form 1040's.  You do not have to post those  here.  But look at them yourself----side by side, line by line.   There will be something different.   You are free to use any software you want to use, and file accordingly.
