You can downgrade using the clear and start over feature. However, you will be required to restart your return. Please keep in mind that our various TurboTax programs handle different tax situations and their associated forms.

In TurboTax Online, you can erase your return and start from scratch as long as you haven't submitted payment, deducted the TurboTax fee from your refund, or registered.

1. If you haven't already done so, sign in at TurboTax.com and select the blue Take me to my return button.
2. On the welcome back screen, in the left-side menu, select Tax Tools, and then select Clear & Start Over (see attached Tax Tools)
3. Answer Yes in the pop-up to confirm.

I still don’t see how to start over with free version

To go back to the Free Edition or a lower version you can try to clear and start over

In the regular Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now. Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition?

If you have registered or it won't let you clear to start over and you haven’t paid, you can just abandon this account and start over with a new account. Online is only good for 1 return per account. But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts. How to start another return in the Online version

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. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2020 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.

There's a quicker way actually, I just did it. If you have selected Deluxe, then on the left menu scroll to the bottom and expand Tools option, it has an option to degrade to free version. Click on that and it should load the free version with all your data
