Because the cost to upgrade is 89 dollars (which I also have to pay tax on), and the federal tax refund from a very small capital loss carry-over is almost equal to that. I will come out on top removing that form and going with the free version.

From an ethical point of view, you are supposed to enter every piece of information you knowingly have. if you do not want carryovers, you can begin a new tax return with a new account without having the prior year sync in.
