Return to the 1099-G entry section and delete the blank form that transferred over from last year that is no longer needed.

Thank you for your detailed answer, it helped. I am wondering though, I had $0 income in 2021 (I am a Homemaker/Homesteader) I was not employed outside my home. Why does Turbo Tax keep telling me I have to upgrade? I should be able to file a $0 income tax return for free!

Yes, you can file a free return, see Free Tax Filing With TurboTax® - New Full Service Free Offer. See Whom May I Claim as a Dependent? if you plan to claim a child and the related credits.

If you have no income then you have no reason to file a return at all.   However, if you are claiming dependents for the CTC   and/or  had ACA insurance  then you  can file but not with the TT free version.

 

If you qualify you can use one of the 8 IRS FREE FILE options that you must link in from the IRS site ... for 2021 your AGI had to be $73K or less.
