Why am i being forced to upgrade?

I have used the standard version for the past 2 years with income and losses reported on a K-1.  This year, I have to upgrade!  I don't think so.  I have used turbo tax since 1997, it only takes things like this to make me drop something like a hot potato.

If you are using the TurboTax Basic edition you can enter the Schedule K-1.  The program will be recommending that you upgrade to a higher edition.  That is only a recommendation it is NOT required.

I had to upgrade from basic to premier/premium, whatever it is, before I could had my K-1.  I could not go any farther until I did.  My K-1 kept getting deleted if I didn’t upgrade.

The answer was directed for those who use the TurboTax desktop editions installed on a personal computer.

 

If you are using the TurboTax online web-based editions you have to upgrade to the Premium online edition to enter a Schedule K-1.
