Scanning mistakes and server issues

I bought this to replace TurboTax and I did save money and ultimately my return was filed. That was not without problems. Photo scanning for W2 was inconsistent, worked some of the time. After submitting my sons' returns, mine did not transfer, your servers had a problem for over 12 hours! I was finally able to transmit when I got home (5 pm).
I couldn't submit on the 14th or until the afternoon on the 15th. I had to prepare to file on paper because of the Bad Gateway problem. I think a refund would be appropriate based on this experience.
Site was down for 2 days, couldn't file, got charged several times for state filing. Had to end up filing my state manually on state website and print and mail forms, which I haven't done in over 20 years. No communication on issues. I couldn't rely on issue being fixed on time.
I I have been using the H&R Block software for many many years and I find it very easy to do.
One thing I really would like is a simplified questionnaire for taxpayers who only have W-2s and a Standard Deduction rather than having to go through the entire questionnaire.
Other than that, I'm very happy with it. I will continue to use it and definitely will recommend it to others.
When I bought the Deluxe and State the ad stated the state was free. Then they charged to electronically file. Should have been upfront. Need more help with the K1's. Leave you hanging, just telling you to fill it out yourself if you have a K3.
H&R's web server was down so I had to put together the paper filing package to meet the deadline. Very annoying and frustrating. They should refund our money.
