One needed change--TN no longer has an income TAX

The state of Tennessee NO longer has a state income Tax. TN needs to be added to the list of states without income in the instruction as well as in other places in the forms.
I’ve using your software to do my taxes for many years and am generally satisfied with it. But there are some problems:
First of all, I’m irritated that I can’t create itemized lists of, say, charitable deductions by importing an Excel spreadsheet. Instead, I have to manually re-create them.
Second, the print on your screens is just too small. I wish there was a way to zoom in and out to read the screens more easily. I’ve tried copying some of the text into Word, but can’t even do that. You should remember that there are many of us septuagenarians out there whose eyes are no longer young.
I have used this software for over 15 years..even back when it was called TaxCut. I never had so much trouble as this year. I had to resubmit and it got rejected 3 times. Eventually I had to manually enter everything again while watching the software to make sure it did not mess up the forms again. The help people were not familiar with the error messages. The code of the message did not match the verbiage the program gave me either. Sloppy programming!!!
Many features worked well, like the import from Vanguard. I do not go through all the steps without going back to add and review. This navigation is not as simple as it could be. My old TurboTax did a better job of this. Some of the "fixes" could be clearer and more intuitive to fix. After the "fix" please take me back to where I was in review.
