Eliminate upsell, please!

I buy the BASIC version because I do NOT want lots of bells and whistles. I just want to make sure the math is right, and the data is entered on the right forms. Please don’t try to sell me more stuff in the program. This just annoys me and makes me more likely to make a mistake.
The e-filing of my federal tax return was rejected because my AGI from 2017 didn't match with the IRS. If I had known in advance how to override the amount in the box, that wouldn't have happened. You should include instructions for that. I assumed that when you said you had my 2017 AGI and would automatically fill it, you would! Otherwise, it is a real usable product.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've used Turbo Tax since it came out. The only reason I bought H&R Block is because Office Max was out of the usual tax software I use. After using your software, I will never purchase Turbo Tax again. Love the simple format and it costs less ! You have gained a loyal customer . Thanks
Very well designed and easy to use program which makes filing quick and easy. My returns are very basic and without a lot of extraordinary stuff. I would not have it any other way regardless of how involved and complex my returns are.
Straight forward, easy to use, 1 minor aggravation

I like the up front screening to determine what you need. Very easy input. My tax return has gotten simpler at age 62 than ever before anyway since I don't owe anyone anything, especially a mortgage! :) H&R Basic caught one data inconsistency from having to manually input W2 amounts. Very good. Made the highlighted correction but repeatedly got the error when I clicked "Next". I went back and checked the W2 data and it had actually been corrected. A little more work on error proofing may be needed, or just an anomaly. Overall, excellent product.
