Rejection code 32-FD-F1040-402-01

I've used H&R Block tax software for 10+ years without a problem. This year, my e-file was repeatedly rejected by the IRS with a rejection code 32-FD-F1040-402-01. After looking carefully at my tax forms and reading the detailed instructions, I could not find any mistakes or errors.
Researching this rejection code, I found the same problem in the HR Block community pages where a [seemingly] unresolved technical problem wouldn't be addressed by HR Block this tax year. No response was posted by an HR Block moderator, which lead me to believe the other commentators were correct.
I've printed the returns, written a check and posted my returns from the UK -- which is the reason I value the e-file option. This year's software was not a great value for my money or my time.
#1 There seems to be a glitch, ie. Schedule E/Form 1040, an 'Oil & Gas lease bonus payment. The entry would not flow from Sch. E to the bottom line if entered under Royalties or Rents, we had to enter as 'other income'. #2 We could not access West Virginia as add'l. State. Turbo Tax does.???
Pros: Easy to install, Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import, Fast
A lack of clarity dominates this program, especially compared to its competitors. Clicking the "Learn More" buttons often results in generally unhelpful dialogue boxes. I found myself "Googling" my questions rather than relying on the program's suggestions. Worst of all, when on the payment screen, it was unclear that paying with a credit card would lead me to a third party site (I had to click "Learn More" to even find out at all) and was charged an additional processing fee. This needs to be made much more apparent in the future. Other than the clarity issues, I'd say this program is "just OK."
Unable to download financials and prior year return depreciation schedules. To efile the system wants to give primary taxpayer -0- AGI when in actually BOTH primary and secondary have income.
I bought it as it said it had software for estates, but it was only a form if you were adding the estate to your personal taxes. I am the executor of the estate and it does not have the form I need. I can't even figure out if I by the business one if it will have the right form. I have used H&R Block for it before, and am very disappointed in spending the money for software that I can't even use to do the taxes I bought it to do! What a waste of money. Something similar last year, but it had not said it on the box! I checked this time and it said it had it and it does not!!! So maddening. I think I will have to try different brand of tax software next year.
