H&R Block complaint: Misleading Purchase

HR Block Agent.
I have been using HR Block download tax software for over 20 years. Last year I filled form 8915-E (Disaster Retirement Plan Distribution and Repayment) and got a nice tax reduction. The reduction was to be applied over three years. This year, again I have Block software and, I find out that, it doesn’t address form 8915-F the follow-on to 8915-E, so I cannot take this deduction with the software that I have. Knowledge of this shortcoming was not available to me when I purchased the software and its near tax time and I am in a crunch. My 2022 taxes are complete, federal and state, in the Block software with the exception of the 8915-F form, but I have not filed yet.
After, painfully, maneuvering through eight agents of the Block customer service (800 472 5625), I finally got to an agent (Travis of the software division) who told me that the Block download software doesn’t have form 8915-F and has no way to address it. This I don’t understand, he also said that this form is in the software used by the Block Tax Preparers but not in my software. He offered me a refund for the software, this was on 6 April 2022. I consider this a totally inadequate response by Block. It is clear that a refund was not what was needed but true support was.
I have since made an appointment with a Block Tax Preparer near my home and will see them tomorrow, 9 April 2022. I choose them begrudgingly, but since I have so much effort invested in preparing my 2021 taxes in the Block software, I feel that they would have the best chance of flowing what I have already done into a return. I feel that I have been duped and that Block should pay for this extra tax preparation along with my anguish since they created the problem.

Can you help me in any way with this?
