Customer service was zero help.  They explained that the software allows 5 attempts to e-file, not 5 successful e-files.  This is however not consistent since the failed e-file was resubmitted 4 times before it was successful.  Zero transparency and not disclosed that e-file attempts that fail count as an e-file.  Fix the bug instead of frustrating customers.
