    You were using Free File and now do not qualify to use it?  Sorry but the IRS safeguards users from being able to upgrade to a paid version from Free File.  You cannot do it.  If you need to use a paid version then you will have to start over using a different account and user ID in the version you need.

    What I finally did was start from scratch with turbotax with the idea I would have to create a new account to get out of the IRS free version already started and when I selected the deluxe and that I had used turbotax before, I was given the option to upgrade to deluxe with my established account without any loss of past data entered.
