If you started in the Free Edition, the TurboTax program should've notified you that you'd need to upgrade your product in order to properly file your return.  The Free Edition is suitable for only the simplest returns.  See the info I'm linking below that explains why you may need to upgrade from Free Edition

 

Why do I have to upgrade from Free Edition? 

 

If you'd like to downgrade your product, you may be able to do that using the "Clear and Start Over" feature.  Keep in mind that all of your data entries will be deleted.  And you may still be required to upgrade to a paid edition.  Instructions are below.

 

How do I clear and start over in TurboTax Online?
