I log in to my turbotax account, but when I try to file my taxes, it doesn't give me the option for free. It only shows deluxe and up.

You cannot file a tax return for free right now.  E-filing for 2016 is closed.  You must use desktop software to complete the 2016 filing process; the lowest version available is Deluxe.  (And you cannot file for 2017 yet.  The online software is not yet available for 2017).
