Is there any foreign interest with foreign tax withheld?  If during your 1099-INT entries you had to open up the less common area to make additional entries, then TurboTax may be asking you to upgrade due to an item in that section requiring a form not included in Free. If you had foreign tax paid in box 6, you would need the form 1116 to claim the foreign tax credit.  This form is not included with Free.  

 

The other option is to delete the 1099-INT and re-enter the form.   After you have logged in and are in your return in TurboTax Online:

  • Go to Search at the top of the screen.
  • Enter Form 1099-INT in the search box. 
  • You will see a Jump To function that will take you to the 1099-INT input screens. 
  • There delete the 1099-INT in question by clicking on the trash can next to the form
  • Add a new 1099-INT and manually enter your form.
