After you file

If access to your 2017 online return is locked because it was prepared last year in Free Edition, the minimum to unlock a prior return is a 2018 Free Edition return upgraded to PLUS for 19.99.

 

Are the 2017 and 2018 returns in the SAME account?

 

If you are in Deluxe, have you paid for it with credit/debit card?  Or did you end up in Deluxe by accident?  It will charge you 59.99 for a Federal return, and possibly 44.99 for any state return.   Did you need Deluxe to prepare your 2018 return?  If not, you may be able to downgrade. 

 

Has your 2018 return already been filed, or is it still in preparation?    We can tell you your options when you explain all of the above.
