Same thing for me. Used free version last year. Nothing has changed this year except now I'm being halted as I'm trying to file and being forced to upgrade. Was given a service code for a savings of $13.30 but now they want to charge me $119 after the discount when i can get it cheaper at amazon and costco. was told my other option is to clear everything out and start again. i have a sneaking suspicion that if i do that turbo tax will lead me to the same dead end forcing me to upgrade. turbo tax is a scam and after many many years of using it, next year im going to hr block for sure.
