How can I switch from the free version to another version

[bugglette]

We qualified for the free version last year (the only year we've used the free one) but do not this year. How do I switch back to a regular version?

I've been doing our taxes with TT for many years and I like how so many fields are auto-populated. I don't want to create a new account and have to re-type everything.

Sorry to bear bad news.  But if you do not qualify to use Free File, you cannot move the data to a paid version.  The IRS has rules that safeguard users of the free sites from upgrading to paid tax software.  So if you do not qualify for the free program, you unfortunately have to start over in a paid version and use a different account and user ID.
