State Tax E-File Not Included in Price

I bought the homeowners plus investors H&R Block deluxe plus state. The code includes a free FEDERAL E-File, but not a State. They are giving you a State PROGRAM included with the price, but not an E-File for the State. It's very misleading in my opinion. Is it worth the price? Yes. However, I would rather pay the full price of the federal and state and not have to use my credit card at the end in order to file my state E-File. I suppose you can mail a paper copy of the state return for free. I didn't want to do that, so I paid. But I suspect I could have if I wanted to.
I filed electronically for Federal taxes, but needed to print out the voucher and instructions for mailing the check. The program does not make this easy to do.
The software was easy to use. However, I purchased the Deluxe version which supposedly included 1 state return. When I attempted to file my returns, I had to include a credit card number for it to charge a fee for my state return!!
Filling out this form was very difficult. When I finished the HOLDEN report, $4400 taxes were due which should have prompted a 2019 1040-ES. No such prompt was made, so I went to the form and could not get it to calculate values, so I printed the four quarterly tax forms and filled in by hand to mail. You should also include a 1040-ES procedure for electronically transmitting quarterlies.
