I don't have the money to pay the turbotax fee in order to file.

To go back to a lower version or the Free Edition you can try to clear and start over https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-online/00/26444

If you started your tax return in TurboTax Free Edition (Form 1040 with limited credits; roughly 37% of taxpayers qualify), you won't need to clear and start over. You can select Switch to Free Edition instead.

In the Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now.  Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition?

Or try the IRS Free File program

File an extension for now.  There is no fee to file an extension.  File an extension by April 15, 2024, and have until October 15, 2024, to finish your taxes.   It is an extension to file - not an extension to pay your taxes; the bill is still due by 04/15/24 even if you file the extension.
