Something you entered is requiring the upgrade ... so did you enter any dividends, stock sales, a K-1 form ?
In the Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now. Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition?

i started/tried to but then i realized it was from 2021 for 2020. i did not get one this year for 2021. i cant figure out how to cancel/get rid of it
Ok ... if you entered something that is requiring an upgrade you should be able to say no to the upgrade and remove the incorrect entry.
