Keep in mind that the different TurboTax "flavors" handle different tax situations and their associated forms.
For example, if you're itemizing (Schedule A), you can clear and start over and go back to the the free edition, but once you enter your itemized deductions in the free edition, you'll be asked to upgrade to Deluxe.
Here is a short list of some common tax situations and the online products that now uniquely support them:
Itemized Deductions (Schedule A/1040) - Deluxe, Premier, and Self-Employed
HSA Contributions (Schedule A/1040) - Deluxe, Premier, and Self-Employed
Gains or Losses (Schedule D) - Premier and Self-Employed
Rental Income (Schedule E) - Premier and Self-Employed
Profit or Loss from Business (Schedules C-EZ and C) - Self-Employed
If you are looking at TurboTax Federal Free Edition, keep in mind that this version is intended for taxpayers with very simple returns (Form 1040EZ filers with the standard deduction), for example first-time filers and students.

This is my last year using. Initially said free. Then 40 for deluxe then added some more bs I did not ask for. Never again!!!!
and my tax situation is very simple. No dependents, property, nothing
This is BS.. been using turbos tax free for a few year never had to pay.. first it wouldn't let me file because of a form I dont even need so I delete it.. now it wont let me file miscellaneous taxable income that does not apply to me.. cant move forward unless I uograde..
In the regular Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now. Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition?

To go back to the Free Edition you can try to clear and start over https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-onli...
OR There is also The Turbo Tax Free File program which is free for federal and state. And has more forms than the Federal Free Edition, like Schedules A, B, C , D, E, F, EIC, H, K-1, SE, etc.
To qualify for the Free File website you just need to meet one of these 3 things
AGI $36,000 or less
Active duty military with AGI of $69,000 or less
OR qualify for EIC (earned income credit.)
In order to use the Free File program, you have to start it at a special website. Click on the Orange button I Qualify, Let's get Started

Such bull**bleep**. I'll file my taxes by mail before I pay the fees for Deluxe.
I was having the same issue as everyone else until I used this link: https://freefile.intuit.com/
When I clicked on it it led me right to the page where I could file my tax return for free 🙂 Hope this helps.
