Too hard to find things

The tax code is outrageously complex, so I understand it may be hard to write software to complete it, but H&R could be a lot clearer. Where do I enter my IRAs? Could find the form (8606), but won't let me enter any data there at all. And, the program can't seem to deal with the fact my wife has an IRA, too. Program has no problem with some complex issues, then can't tell you where to find IRA.
I am 69 years old and have done many tax returns and used many tax programs including yours. This has truly been a nightmare. The program would only occasionally update. As I a was using the program it would lose some but not all of my data on different pages. I spent close to three days to finish my return and when I sent it in for the first time in my life it was rejected. My return was a simple one and This was truly horrible
I would recommend this product for people who want to file on their own. Very user-friendly. The phone assistance took a little while though.. everything else was great!
Bought in November 2018 for 2019. 2018 Edition is the worst ever. Calculations changes from one days to the next. Software is hard to find, Links to save copy of return DO NOT WORK. UPDATES TO STATE NON EXISTANT
Product was good, as usual, but I could not find a way to undo a mistake I had made. Therefore, I had a do another return (without the mistake!). Should have an easier way to access data.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I've been using H&R Block tax software since 2008. Maybe it is because of the change in the tax codes but this product was not up to its usual standards. Very confusing.
