Return should actually be easier. Ascent from Mars takes less delta-v due to less gravity and drag. Return to Earth takes less than going to Mars because you aren't fighting the sun's gravity. Re-entry and landing at Earth requires less because you have a much more dense atmosphere that you can use to brake.
