Do you think you qualify for Free Edition? If items in your return actually do require Deluxe edition, then there is a fee for that product. And the fee is scheduled to go higher on March 1. Here's some info on the Free Edition:

TurboTax Free Edition can be used for a simple Form 1040 when there are no additional forms and no schedules except for Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and Student Loan Interest.

You can try to downgrade to Free Edition, but if there is something in your return that requires a higher edition, it will ask you to upgrade again. The following FAQ tells how to use the "Switch" method. Another option is the "Clear and start over" method, about which there is a link in the bottom of the FAQ below.
