Bug discovered in 2019 Deluxe

I don't know how it happened, but when I went to e-file, the verification routine got stuck in a strange endless loop. It put my zip code in the City Field and instructed me to fix it. When I did so, it proceeded to put my city name in the Zip Code field. This process continued indefinitely until I finally broke out of the loop by deleting all my contact information. It was automatically refilled by the software. I can send scree shots of the errors.
I have used H&R Block Tax packages for many years and it has never failed me. Good and clear instructions along with examples that a clear. I not taken more than a couple of hours (usually an hour) to complete my return. Price per simplicity is unmantteched.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
This is the 6th year in a row I have used HR Block Deluxe, it is the best software going. I tried Turbo Tax in 2013 and found it to be much more difficult to navigate and not nearly as intuitive as HR Block. I will not be trying any non-HR Block Tax program in the future.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
The IRS added a requirement regarding K-1 basis calculation on Form E line 28 in 2018. The software doesn't have this capability. The capability needs to be added in order to e-file a complete return.. I will not buy HR Block 2020 tax prep software if this capability isn't built in. I've been using your software for many years and have been happy with it. I will be forced to switch if I can no longer complete and e-file my return with your software.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to prepare, Hard to import documents
