Whether or not you can use a free product depends on what forms are required in your return and whether you meet other qualifications. Read this whole posting to learn about the 2 free products.
TurboTax does have 2 free products, but it appears you
are not in one of them. You appear to be using Live Self-Employed, which is the most expensive of all the online products. That edition is 199.99 for Federal and 44.99 for State and includes Live on-demand help from a CPA/EA tax pro and a final review of your return prior to filing. If you choose to pay the fees out of your Federal refund, there is an additional 39.99 service fee (44.99 for California filers.)
If you want to downgrade, I'll leave you a link below that tells you how to use "clear and start over" if you think you can use the Free Edition. I'll also tell you about the other free product.
Or you can remove the "Live" portion of your product, which will save some money, but it still won't be a free product. Regular Self-Employed Edition is 119.99 for Federal and 44.99 for State.

Regular Free Edition cannot prepare a lot of the tax forms. And regular
Free Edition is more limited this year due to tax law changes. If you
need any of the new Schedules 1-6, for instance, then you can't use
Free Edition. You can read about the new schedules at the link below. If
you click the blue "see schedule" link there, it will show you what each
schedule looks like.
