I only have capital gains on 1099-Div. Why is Turbotax making me upgrade?

It's $35 in 1099-Div Capital Gains that is causing me to spend $59 to upgrade.  I do not need to file any addition form.  Per their site, this should be free.

Please see the additional information to qualify for free filing:

• Interest or dividends (1099-INT/1099-DIV) that don’t require filing a Schedule B
• IRS standard deduction
• Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC)
• Child Tax Credit (CTC)
• Student loan interest deduction

Situations not covered:

• Itemized deductions

• Business or 1099-NEC income
• Stock sales
• Rental property income
• Credits, deductions, and income reported on other forms or schedules (for example, income related to crypto investments)

you will pay an upgrade fee for the privilege of seeing that Schedule D does not have to be attached to your tax return.

TurboTax doesn't care.
