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 2020 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.

The TurboTax Free online edition is for very simple tax returns that do not require any other form or schedule other than the Form 1040.  If your tax data requires entry on any other form or schedule then you must upgrade to the Deluxe edition or higher.

You cannot e-file state for free that I'm aware of.  I don't understand why e-filing costs $25.00 and submitting a printed form is free.  You would think it would be much quicker to process and e-filed submittal than processing the paper, but until state e-filing is free or at least much, much cheaper than it is now, I will continue to let the states process my paper forms.
