You really should have an option to have Password Protection. If Facebook requires a password certainly you should. It does not ask me for my password when I log on to my computer and select it to open. BAD BAD BAD!!!
I filed in October, having submitted a Federal Extension of Time to File back in April. Using the HR Block Premium to also complete my state return, it said that I needed to file by paper. I did that. But it never let me know that I needed to attach a copy of my Federal Extension of Time to File. Now I seem to be likely to get some nasty notice from the State, and possibly a fine, for filing late.
HRB software is good, but for a few annoying holes

holes:
1. no external docs. will import for me - have to enter everything manually, import some vital data from previous return
2. unless I missed how to do it (looked for at least 30 min.) program does not import 1099 payer data from previous year - have to re-enter all payer names, addresses and EINs for each one by one
3. navigation is often lugubrious, for example: if one needs to jump into a specific place in the interview, it usually requires starting at the beginning of that interview topic sequence and clicking through a stack of screens - program needs a big navigation map in a sidebar which can be used to click directly into an entry screen without doing the whole tour for that section
4. 2018 took me to the ACA form 8962 data entry screen when needed - 2017 did not - the return was rejected - missing form was not caught in the HRB final data check - I had to do an 8962-A follow up and actually had to talk to an IRS agent to get it done - then (no fault of HRB) but the Government Shutdown delayed the refund even further, to the point it got lost in their system - finally got the refund actuated by calling before doing 2018 taxes just now before the extension DL - what a series of cock ups - all this (as mentioned) no fault of HRB, but a glitch in the 2017 program initiated the cascade of cock ups - like I often say: most corporations, on their best day, are about as good as the government
