I don't want deluxe i checked the one for 19.99.

Please compare the packages. i didn't do anything for  additional to add deluxe. please explain?

You don't have to ask for the upgrade. TurboTax will tell you that you need to upgrade if you are claiming certain credits or deductions  because those forms are not included in TurboTax Free Edition.  To best understand the difference between each program, please go to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/deluxe.jsp">https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/deluxe.jsp</a> and scroll down to where you see a grey bar with the third option being "tax forms". Click on that and then you can see each program and the forms and schedules included with each version.

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. Some of the situations that are now in TurboTax Deluxe and TurboTax Live Deluxe, instead of in Free Edition, include:

• Student loan interest deduction
• Retirement savings contribution credit
• Education credits
• Child & dependent care credit

If none of this applies to you, you can use the clear and start over feature.

Note: In TurboTax Online, you can erase your return and start from scratch as long as you haven't submitted payment, deducted the TurboTax fee from your refund, or registered.

Please see the two TurboTax FAQs below for more information.
