I had a similar experience. I was willing to pay for the regular Turbo Tax with the state addition like I had for many years as a long time customer. However I got to a point I could not continue and was forced to upgrade tot he DeLuxe, I believe it was. The fix was a simple click that had nothing to do with taxes or tax laws, etc. It was a Turbo Tax thing that was added to trick people into upgrading for a service that was not needed.
I was very disappointed that a product I had used for years took advantage of me.
I will look for another service.
