Does anyone have an offer code? I chose Free this year because of temp unemployment (COVID-19) but it says I have to upgrade to Deluxe in order to file. Help Please. Thx.

TurboTax Free Edition Online

If you need to upgrade to Deluxe, you will need to pay for the upgraded version.

If you cannot afford to pay for the version now, the other option is to select to have your fees deducted from your refund.

In the regular Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now. Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition?

To go back to a lower version or the Free Edition you can try to clear and start over https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-online/00/26444

OR There is also The Turbo Tax Free File program which is free for federal and state. And has more forms than the Federal Free Edition, like Schedules A, B, C , D, E, F, EIC, H, K-1, SE, etc.

To qualify for the Free File website you just need to meet one of these 3 things
AGI $36,000 or less
Active duty military with AGI of $69,000 or less
OR qualify for EIC (earned income credit.)

In order to use the Free File program, you have to start it at a special website. Try signing in at the top right
