So that you will know going forward---there are two free versions. TurboTax Free Edition---which you access through the same TT website that provides the other paid versions of online TurboTax. Free Edition can only be used for very simple returns that do not require any of the extra schedules that can be part of a Form 1040. If you start entering data that requires one or more of those schedules, you upgrade to a paid version.
Or there is Free File, accessed through a different site---and you must meet the criteria to use it.
If you qualify to use it, there is another full-featured free version of the software:
Try Free File:
You qualify if your income was $36,000 or less, or $69,000 or less if active duty military, or if you qualify for Earned Income Credit
