TurboTax Free Edition insists I must upgrade to Deluxe Edition Form 8801 (Prior year Alt Min Tax) which I've never used. How do I override/remove the auto suggestion?

The automation system says I must use Form 8801 for prior year min tax. It will NOT let me beyond the "upgrade" option. I have reviewed all the way back to 2015 and never used alternative minimum tax or anything related. I've spent hours reviewing, re-entering, playing with automated help, and only frustrated more. Now I'm considering NOT using TurboTax just so I can file. Automation is no help and this is inconvenient at best.  Is there a way to continue with the Free Edition?  OR, is there a live person that can actually assist and correct this error??
