Falls down on State Taxes

The federal program worked very well. The Pennsylvania state program had a major error importing business income onto Schedule G-L, rendering the state program worthless. The incorrect information could not be manually over-ridden. I had to prepare state tax return manually.
Cannot find how to pay my Federal Extension Taxes!

The Federal extension period is a few days away and I tried to pay my taxes, but cannot find how to make the software co-operate and allow me to pay my taxes. What a loser of a system!
When you send a confirmation message that "you're all set, there's nothing else you need to do" but don't prominently display how to submit payment, you cause user frustration by providing a false sense of security.
'My first time using this software after trying the on-line filing (that was a NIGHTMARE). I can't say enough about the EXTREMELY poor phone service with BLOCK. After I was able to download it (would not open with Chrome, had to use Explorer - this should have been made known to the user), I found this to be very detailed and well suited for a small business. There are useful tips, advice, and explanations given throughout. The e-filing process was simple and quick...
Did not insert the correct AGI from 2018 to 2019 1040 so was rejected by the IRS. Corrected the amount manually but still rejected. Had to mail in return. Did not process free federal return code, just paid for it. Very disappointing
Right now I am not happy! I want to save last years return to my computer and am having so much trouble. I am not able to do it. It's like I've opened two new returns. and now can't even find my real return!
Very user friendly software even for the novice preparer. Continue to use the HRBlock software and it fills in most generic information and calculations in from the prior years automatically and for review.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
