Did you think you qualified for Free Edition?   TurboTax Free Edition can be used for a simple Form 1040 when there are no additional forms and no schedules except for Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and Student Loan Interest.

Is there something in your return that requires the use of Deluxe Edition?   You can try to downgrade to Free Edition, but if there is something in your return that requires a higher edition, it will ask you to upgrade again.   The following FAQ tells how to use the "Switch" method.   Another option is the "Clear and start over" method, about which there is a link in the bottom of the FAQ below.

FAQ:  How do I downgrade to a different Online TurboTax product?

NOTE:  If you do have to use a paid edition, be aware that prices for Online TurboTax will increase on Sunday, March 1.   At that time the early-season discounts disappear, and the products return to the late-season undiscounted prices.
