xeon Dual Xeon E5-2623 v4 or Single Xeon E5-2643 for WTS

In this case there is no need for virtualisation as this will be the only task of that machine (serve the "tax software" and office to 3-4 people)
I usually find vendors way over state the hardware requirements of their applications, not a big deal for you though since it won't really effect what you need to buy anyway. If you have first hand experience as to how much resources the application requires that's much more useful than any spec sheet.
For anything directly user experienced based or database server I always recommend going for higher clocks over a few extra cores, you really can notice it. Our case is a bit different because were virtualize everything, bit of a necessity really when you have ~1400 servers/VMs, we use E5-2690v4's on all our ESXi hosts.
You can quite easily support 200+ concurrent users with 20-30 cores even on a demanding application like Technology One or SITS:Vision, we do this using 10-11 RDS servers and 2-3 vCPUs + 12GB ram per VM. You'll hit your 16GB ram limit before running out of CPU resource would be my guess.
