Good Program but Very Expensive

This was my first time doing an estate tax return (my parents very small estate). It was not difficult and what I did not understand , it was fairly easy to find the right answer. My biggest complaint is the cost. This is a very expensive program. It was $171 for Fed and $55 for the state. The personal versions of Turbo tax are a much better deal and they are on "sale" sort of at the beginning of tax season. I wish they had a smaller version for less cost.
1) Federal Program is near perfect. 2) State programs may need some work. PA Partnership is not e-file eligible. Don't know if that is a TurboTax issue or State of PA problem. Also, there was an annoying e-filing issue with the NJ Partnership regarding the "Validation_Failed - Error 54" notification. Based on the TT help / support community conversations, this was a widespread issue and covered multiple state entity returns (Partnership, Trusts etc). It took 2 calls to Tech Support along with hours of research & experimentation on my part to figure out how to solve the issue. This problem has also occurred in prior years based on what I found in the community support blog. There needs to be a permanent fix to this issue.
It's great, but I was unable to electronically file my Pennsylvania state portion electronically. Same last year. This needs fixed. Also, sometimes you want to circle back to an earlier section and rerun through the questions, which doesn't seem to be easy.
