You are posting from Self-Employed. If you entered income from a 1099Misc or income you received as an independent contractor, you need that version if you are using online TurboTax, in order to prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses. If you do not need to prepare a schedule C you could use a lower version, or any version of desktop TurboTax.

If you have not paid or registered you can clear and start over, or if you qualify, you may be able to use Free File.

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2019 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.

Note - If you have entered a Form 1099-MISC with income shown in box 7 of the form, this would indicate to the program that you are self-employed, thereby requiring the use of the Self-Employed edition to report the income and expenses for your self-employment.
