I bought classroom supplies but I cannot check that box unless I buy the deluxe edition?

TurboTax Free Edition Online

Unfortunately the educator expenses is an adjustment to income that would be shown on 1040 Schedule 1. The Schedule 1 is included in products Deluxe and higher. Click here for a listing of forms included in TurboTax products.

If you income is below $39,000 or you have earned income tax credit, you would qualify for the TurboTax FreeFile product. It would include all the forms but not all the bells and whistles of normal TurboTax. For instance, your return history would not be saved year over year using this product so you would need to print off a PDF copy to save your return.
