Problem with state

I could not seem to get credit for interest on US savings bonds on my Illinois taxes. I gave up and paid state of illinois instead of probably getting a refund.
For many years now, when we print the H&R block returns we just filled out, the cover page with all the summary info never fits on a 8.5x11 inch standard paper! please make the cover page fit an ordinary size paper. The forms print fine, but that cover page always trys to print off the page. Also, you give the option of downloading forms from companies, why not give the option to drag and drop pdf copies of all these forms since we normally get them in the mail or on line anyway. Also you gave no extra info on the 1040 form regarding whether the income from pension 1099-R is deductable or not, you just leave the box open for us to decide. I don't know if it is or not and you give no info on how to determine if it is or not.
I bought this program very cheaply. However, it is difficult to use and its lack of directions is very frustrating. I paid more than five times as much for Turbo Tax, but it's incredibly easier to use.
I am unable to get help on this issue. the PDF files take four pages per single page of the forms, with images in the corner. Fix this problem or next year I will switch to Turbo Tax.
I have been doing my own taxes for years using either H&R Block or Turbo Tax. This year I bought both programs in order to get an exact comparison. While both eventually got the same results, I found it easier to understand the directions for H&R Block while those for Turbo Tax sometimes had me wondering exactly what they meant. For example, should I enter a percentage or do the multiplication myself and enter the result. With H&R Block there was no questions about what to do. H&R Block also gave more explanations of things along the way that I found helpful. Turbo Tax twice came up with errors that I had a hard time trying to figure out and correct, but H&R Block was error free right from the start. So I now filed with H&R Block. E-File was fast and easy too.
a lot of questionable input and to back track info time consuming disappointed with the state of virginia form and carryover info -- very disappointed in not being able to file due to deceased---should be made known on purchase
