Why can I not add my wife to my taxes?

Is it because I’m using basic do I need to upgrade to premium?

When you are entering your personal information, the program asks for your status.  You should have selected Married and that you will filing the tax return with your spouse.  Later in your personal interview you will be asked to enter your spouse's personal information to include their Social Security number.

Go back to My Info on the left side of the online program screen and edit your personal information.

No, adding a spouse does not force an upgrade.  Go to the Personal Info section, and make sure you selected that you are married.
