Why can't I file for free? I'm getting forced to use Delux.

I am on the final page of the form. I am getting the message:


Why do I need to upgrade?

You have Schedule 1, Additional Income and Adjustments to Income, and that's just one of the reasons the IRS requires you to file Form 1040.

TurboTax Free Edition does not cover this situation

I have said no to all 5000 times turbo tax asked me to upgrade. Now there is no option to say no anymore. I spent 2 hours typing all these stupid fields. Now it's gonna charge me $40? How can I get the free filing? It never once told me I would have to pay until the very last screen. It's not even telling me what is causing the form to be not file-able.

I have checked the fees section and I am still marked as no fees, so I don't need to just clear and restart.
