Free only works on Simple returns, a couple of years ago I thought I was going to get by with a free file, but upon getting to a certain point in my return a particular form was required that was not included with free file and I had to upgrade and purchase the software/download online just because of one form. Sorry hope this helps.

TurboTax Free Edition is for filers that use a simple 1040 with no additional schedules and is free as long as you don't select any add-ons or upgrades. If you don't know or understand what you are being charged for you can Review your fees to see a breakdown. 
Please see the TurboTax FAQ Why I am I being charged for TurboTax Free Edition? for more information.
