Estimated Taxes

The software worked well but hung me up on the Form 2210. I tried to use the estimated taxes software due to semiretirement, investment income, 4th quarter capital gains distributions, and a 4th quarter job - but the system was so confusing I couldn't figure it out. So I will use the feds' estimated taxes stuff.
The software is fairly simple to follow when it takes you through every step, but if you want to go back to just one step, you have to click all the way through that section to get to where you want to go.
I e-filed Federal and State, but when I go back to check the status, it only shows State, and I do not know how to check the status of the Federal return. It's nice for filing, not so great for following up afterwards.
When I purchased the Deluxe, it said it included the state, but it did not say that I would have to pay a separate fee to e-file the state, so that is a bit misleading.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents
I have used hrblock for 3 straight years. It is easy to use and covers the current laws. Prior year info is pulled into the current year and you make updates. Great
I E-filed my son's return on this software. I received an E-mail from H & R Block that it was accepted. I went to check and found a notation that the return was not filed. It turns out the refund was!!! deposited in his checking account as requested. How do explain this ?
I've been a customer for over 10 years. I don't feel like this year software maximized on customers return. Saw some things I've saw before like reduction in the federal increased the amount you owed in the State.
