If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2024 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.

But...of course, there may be something in your tax return that requires one of the paid versions.

The Free version will NOT do Itemized Deductions, nor any stock/crypto/bond sales transactions.....and a bunch of other special stuff and certain credits that some users don't think of as being special.
