It always routes me to the other one. How do I stay in the military edition?

The FAQ on that link says.......

To get started, enter your W-2 and verify your military rank when prompted within the TurboTax Online Product (Free Edition, Deluxe, Premier, Self-Employed). Your discount will be applied when you are ready
to file.

And after you enter yoru Military W-2 form, there is a follow-up page with a whole page of checkboxes.

One of the checkboxes is one you have to check to indicate that the W-2 is for your Active Duty Military service.

 

That's the only way the software finds out you have a W-2 with income thar qualifies you for the Military deduction...as Free (for enlisted ranks) or reduced charge if you are in Officer ranks.
