My account seems to be locked into this free file mode

I went to fill out my taxes this year, like I have every year since 2011 and when I got past deductions the following message popped up: 

 

IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax doesn’t cover your tax situation

Please return to www.IRS.gov to see if you qualify for another Free File product.

 

I had never even heard of IRS Free File and had to google it.  Reading some support messages it appears that I am now no longer able to just pay you to file a tax return like I have for years??  I have to create an entirely new account associated with a new email address and lose my entire tax history in one place?  Please tell me this isn't your answer.  Why on earth can't I just pay you like I have every year for the past 8 years?  How did my account end up in this state?
