To go back to Free or a lower version you can try to clear and start over  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-onli...

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?

OR There is also The Turbo Tax Free File program which is free for federal and state.  And has more forms than the Federal Free Edition, like Schedules A, B, C , D, E, F, EIC, H, K-1, SE,  etc.

To qualify for the Free File website  you just need to meet one of these 3 things

AGI $39,000 or less

Active duty military with AGI of $72,000 or less

OR qualify for EIC (earned income credit.)

In order to use the Free File program, you have to start it at a special website.  Click on Sign in at the top right.  It may let you continue your return so you don't have to start over.

And you can avoid that extra $40 Pay with Refund Service charge by paying the fees with a credit card.

The TurboTax Free Edition is only for simple returns. If your data entry triggers a form which is not supported by the Free Edition, then you will be asked to upgrade.

If you meet the qualifications, you may be able to use the IRS Freefile as delivered by TurboTax, a free filing service provided by TurboTax in partnership with the IRS.

Please see this TurboTax webpage which explains the difference between the IRS program and the TurboTax Free Edition product.

If you think you qualify for the IRS Freefile program (see the links), start with this link - this is a separate link from the TurboTax Free edition.
