Did you enter some income on a 1099NEC? You are posting from online Self-Employed---so it might have upgraded you for something you entered. If you did not receive self-employment income and want to downgrade then clear and start over.
CLEAR AND START OVER

I don't remember ever receiving a 1040NEC. I'll have to try to find out what a 1040NEC is. The option to start over from scratch does not seem to be a viable alternative.
Thanks for the quick answer!

A 1099NEC is issued to an independent contractor for non-employee compensation. Did you work as a consultant or something? it is okay to use the Self-Employed version of the software---it just costs a bit more--so if you do not want to start over....
xmasbaby0. Thanks for the help. I'll stick with the self-employed version.

Go to forms and select the Personal Wks for you. Look at what is entered in Occupation. If it doesn't say Retired, change it. Hope that helps.
@JonTerry The entry for occupation has no effect at all on how a tax return is calculated or on what version of the software is used. The IRS only uses "occupation" for statistical purposes.
