Downgrade turbotax

[jmbryant87]

I thought I needed to file self-employment 1099-MISC, and upgraded to Deluxe, then realized I did not need to file. Can I downgrade without starting over?

Unfortunately you can't downgrade without starting over.

You can downgrade using the Clear and Start Over feature but bear in mind that the different TurboTax "flavors" handle different tax situations and their associated forms.

For example, if you want to downgrade from Deluxe to Federal Free Edition and you're itemizing (Schedule A), you can clear you'll be asked to upgrade to Deluxe.

Here is a short list of some common tax situations and the online products that now uniquely support them: and start over with the free edition, but once you enter your itemized deductions in the free edition,

• Itemized Deductions (Schedule A/1040)- Deluxe, Premier, and Self-Employed
  
• Capital Gains or Losses (Schedule D) - Premier and Self-Employed
  
• Rental Income (Schedule E) - Premier and Self-Employed
  
• Profit or Loss from Business (Schedules C-EZ and C) - Self-Employed
  

If you are looking at TurboTax Federal Free Edition, keep in mind that this version is intended for taxpayers with very simple returns (Form 1040EZ filers with the standard deduction), for example first-time filers and students.
