I am trying to file form 2106, as I did last year. This is my first year with Turbo Tax, but when I review my forms it's 2106ez! Why is it doing that? Can it be fixed?

TurboTax will use whichever of the 2 forms can most simply report your info.  In the desktop version (CD/download) there is a way to override TurboTax's selection and use the full Form 2106 even if one qualifies for the Form 2106-EZ, but not in the Online version.

What's wrong with using a Form 2106-EZ?
