How do I upgrade from free to Premier?

I thought I might be eligible for Turbo Tax free based on my income in 2018.  I have completed my Federal and I do not quality for free and want to upgrade.  Will I need to clear my current year data?  I cannot seem to get out of the Free version.

No, you do not need to clear your data.  Here are the steps (online):

  • After sign in to your program, select Take me to my return
  • To your left panel, simply select Upgrade
  • See the attached screenshot

If this method does not work, to upgrade to Premier, follow these steps (online):

  • While in the program, 
  • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in 'schedule e', and Enter ( pretending you are going to enter a rental which requires Premier edition)
  • Select Jump to schedule e
  • Follow prompts to upgrade

I have cleared my cache and tried Microsoft Edge.  The upgrade option is not available.

Give a last try.  Sign out then sign back in.  Select Take me to my return, then at the right corner, type in 'schedule e' and follow prompts.

If you find a way to merge accounts let me know.  I hate that all my history is now attached to an account I can no longer use.
