Aside from the price : one is a disk you purchase and print/ e file your results using the company system ( which is also a paid service).

There is no "right" selection of these options: its a personal choice.
However: Please read the terms, conditions and warranties of any programs or services that will deal with important issues such as taxes, personal finances or investing.
