Why does TurboTax keep bumping me up to more and more expensive packages - just want to do a simple Schedule C?

What more. Just want to do a very simple Schedule C. TT keeps charging me more.

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to Premium version. Or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs. You can buy the Desktop CD or the Download program here,

For the very small amount of sidework I did (more as favor to someone) and the cost of bumping up to Deluxe - and now to Premium - just to put in a small deduction - it isn't worth it.
