Who has had a problem with Free File for your taxes?

I’m trying to do a simple 1040A at a Free File site. I can’t continue as it isn’t doing the $200.00 credit on the 8880. I know we do get the credit, but I can’t get it to come up. Has anyone had this kind of problem? How do you get it corrected? Thank you.
TaxAct IS where the error is.

What are the disadvantages of filing a free file to prepare your taxes?

If your adjusted gross income was $54,000 or less in 2007, you can use Free File to prepare and e-file your taxes online.

My question is what are the disadvantages of using free file as compared to the standard 1040 forms or the standard e-file?
