Yes, you can switch programs if you haven't paid yet.

You can downgrade using the Clear and Start Over feature but bear in mind that the different TurboTax programs handle different tax situations and their associated forms.

For example, if you got upgraded to Deluxe because you're itemizing (Schedule A), you can clear and start over in Free Edition, but as soon as you've entered sufficient itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction, you'll be asked to upgrade to Deluxe again.

Here is a short list of some common tax situations and the online products that now uniquely support them:

Itemized Deductions (Schedule A/1040)- Deluxe, Premier, Self-Employed, and TurboTax Live
Capital Gains or Losses (Schedule D) - Premier, Self-Employed, and TurboTax Live
Rental Income (Schedule E) - Premier, Self-Employed, and TurboTax Live
Profit or Loss from Business (Schedules C-EZ and C) - Self-Employed and TurboTax Live

Keep in mind that TurboTax Free Edition is intended for taxpayers with simple returns (1040EZ or 1040A with the standard deduction), e.g. first-time filers and students.
