Works well but still some of the same old flaws

Been using H&R software for a lot of years and will very likely continue to use it but it has several quirks that they just won't address. The biggest is using an itemized list with any field. Whenever you need to go back and review or edit an itemized list, right clicking to bring the list up opens a dialog showing all the itemized lists and you have to figure out which one is the correct one. They are listed by form number and line number. And, if you have multiples of any given form, it doesn't tell you which copy a list is for. These values are not shown when you are going through the interview method to complete your return. This should be an easy fix. When you wish to open an itemized list for a specific field, it should just open that specific itemized list. You shouldn't have to spend time figuring out which is the correct one.
I have used H&R Block software for many years and have always been fully satisfied with the product. I recommend this product to all my family and friends.
There are a few bugs in the software when using the "take me to" menu. The area of interest will sometimes skip important screens, so it is important you know exactly what you are looking for, because it might have been skipped over due to software bugs.
I have used this program to do my taxes the last few years. The format is familiar and has a good flow to it. I decided this year to spring for the Deluxe version , Federal and state. I found this a little deceptive in that when you try to e-file the state it wants you yo pony up more money to e-file.
Several problems in preparing my return; would not allow me download investment info from Charles Schwab......help line said 'they are working on it'. Finally entered manually. Software would not update, leaving me with old forms/unable to file. Help line didn't help. Finally figured it out myself.
