Forcing an upgrade because it says I need Sched D when I actually don't

I have finished my tax prep, but in the final "file" stage it's suddenly telling me I need to upgrade to Premier because "You have Capital Gains or Losses (Schedule D)."
But I really don't.  The only thing I have is Capital Gains Distributions from mutual funds that was reported on a 1099-DIV.   I never received an 8949.  I should be able to report it on the 1040 line and check "Schedule D not required."

How do I get out of this loop?

Actually you will need to upgrade to at least Deluxe because you need Sch 1 which the FREE version will not allow.  

 

Be aware that  the online TurboTax Free Edition is very limited to only simple returns--so be careful----if your return requires any of the schedules or extra forms then an upgrade to a paid version will be required.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/ 

 

There are still eight various software providers who will participate in the Free File program ... if your AGI is $73K or less then check them out ...

 

Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free:

I'm using Deluxe already.  It's claiming I have to upgrade to TurboTax Premier.

You can :

 

1) upgrade to keep using the online program

2) switch to the downloaded version ... use Basic if you don't need a state ... Deluxe if you do.

3) switch to one of the IRS FREE FILE options if your AGI will be less than $73K

Thanks, but that's not great advice.

 

I called the Intuit support line.  They agreed that a schedule D is not required in my situation and they could not understand why their program was insisting that one was required.


They gave me a code to work around the problem.
