Tax Man Came Calling!

I have used H&R Block Software for the past few years. Overall, I have been happy with it, but this year I received confirmation that my filing was accepted back in February. The problem is, it was never paid. So, in June I got a message that I still owed my taxes along with late fees. Thanks H&R Block!
I live and work in France, but I am a U.S. citizen so I have to file a tax return. H&R Block is better than nothing, but it needs major improvements to meet the needs of the millions of Americans who live overseas and file tax returns every year.
I really like this software for filing my taxes. This software is easy to follow along and the built in knowledge base when asking questions is very informative.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
It worked OK until rounding led to a form rounding to zero - which in turn blocked efile. In that instance there needs to be a mechanism to block rounding on a form so that doesn't happen. If not, why have to pay for efile when the program rounding negates that function? Otherwise all other features seemed to work well.
Have used this software since early 2000's and I like it very much. Only complaint is for a few years now my GA-8453 signature form will not populate with my DCN when I go to save my backup copies after I have submitted my forms and they are accepted.
Using several years now while in retirement, after using "industrial strength" cpa software employed in my cpa business prior to that. Not crazy about the 'old style' interface screens for data entry, but, it works OK. Main complaint is that filing a 4868 extension electronically is not included - WHY?
