Why is turbotax's website NOT letting me file my **bleep** unemployment form without trying to force me to upgrade????

I answer teh yes or no quetsion to IF I recieved unemployment, where my benefits came from, and IF iwas required to pay unemployment benefits. THEN this stupid website pesters me 2 times to upgrade from the free version of TurboTax and **bleep** sends me back to the start. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

In the Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now.  Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition?

Or go to the IRS Free File programs

Depending on what your tax situation was last year, you might need to use new tax forms to claim the same deductions, credits, or forms of income. Unemployment is one of the situations that are now in TurboTax Deluxe and TurboTax Live Deluxe, instead of in Free Edition.
