Careful on what version you buy!
The below only applies to the Download and Retail versions (both the "Digital Download" and the "Key Card" are the same version and both must be downloaded, the only difference is the delivery method of the product key). The Block Online packages of the same name have limited forms compared to the download version.
There is much confusion about versions as to what does what and I thought I'd post this to try to clear things up. Many believe that you need Premium or better if you are self employed or have rental income. That is not true. Self employment income and even LLCs along with rental income can be done with Deluxe or Basic. If you get to, corporations, Scorps and Partnerships you will need higher versions
Block likes to upsell you on the versions and there are almost outright deceptive marketing, wording and charts that cause much confusion about what version does what. Deluxe or even Basic will do the vast majority of returns even quite complicated ones.
Many mistakenly believe based on the charts and wording that Block puts out that you need Premium for things such as Schedule C, D & E. Deluxe handles all those forms but if you go by a chart or version picker on Block's site you will be guided to the higher version.
Here is the full list of supported forms for Deluxe Download version
You will see it is a quite extensive list and it will handle the vast majority of returns of your average taxpayers. The bolded text is just showing the most common forms but everything on the list is supported

Does this mean I need to buy an additional $40 program when doing a second user's state tax (of the same state) plus an additional efile fee? Thanks in advance
It's only if you need to download a second state that you have to pay a separate $40 fee.
Hate that HR Block got caught sending user financials to Facebook.
Facebook and Twitter need to be history.
can this deal be web only? I don't like installing local if I don't have to

But I think 'flat' tax also implies, just pay the tax rate and get rid off everything else to keep it simple.
No deductions, write offs, different tax rates for capital gains, loss carry over, etc.
A flat tax where everyone has the same percentage would disproportionately hurt the lower income. So a modified 'flat' tax, or call it something else, where below a certain income there is no tax and there would be (progressive) brackets based on income. Perhaps keep a dependent deduction, but get rid of all other adjustments to income.
The goal, you can do your return on a postcard.
