You are posting from TurboTax Live Basic--which is certainly NOT free. You have managed to stray into a paid version that includes Live help from a CPA or EA. Do you need to get out of that?

Switching to this version means you START OVER and have to use a different account and user ID.
If you do not qualify for this, then here is some information you need to understand about why your return is not free.
Major tax reform and major changes in the tax forms have also resulted in changes to the tax software.
WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY? I WANT THE FREE EDITION
The information that you can enter in Free Edition is pretty limited now. Thanks to the new tax laws, there are no more simple Form 1040EZ or 1040A's. Everything goes on a little “postcard-size” Form 1040 that has six extra "schedules" with it, and if you need any of those schedules, you are not able to use the Free Edition. Using the standard deduction instead of itemizing does NOT mean you will not need any of those schedules.
