Bug in TurboTax 2020 re: deceased taxpayer and spouse date of death

Where can I report a TurboTax bug?  I'm working on my deceased father-in-law's taxes and while it accepts the date, on the next page, when I indicated that he was widowed and enter the year his wife passed away ("Before 2018"), that value disappears the next time I open the file.

If the spouse passed before  2018 then for the 2020 return he is no longer widowed ... he is single.  And the 2020 program is still very glitchy and not fully functional ... revisit this section in a couple of weeks after several updates.
