I'm trying to use the free version of TurboTax. I used the standard deduction and have one job and a very simple filing situation. I'm unsure why the Deluxe product is being enabled.
You appear to be using Deluxe--at least that is what is displayed underneath your question. Deluxe has a fee for both the Federal and state return, if applicable. Either you ended up there by mistake or some situation in your return caused it to upgrade. If it made you upgrade, it should have said why.
The Free Edition is for very simple 1040 returns with no additional schedules except for Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and student loan interest.
You can try to downgrade, but if it encounters a situation Free Edition can't handle, it would ask you again to upgrade.

If it turns out that you can't use Free Edition, another option is to look at the various free products offered at the IRS website, some of which also include a free state return.
