A Form 1099-R can usually be entered in all editions of Online TurboTax, but if it's for an early distribution with penalty, it would require Deluxe or higher.

 

If you do not have a self-employed business, or are not an independent contractor, sole proprietor, etc., and if you did not have a self-employed business last year that you need to account for, you can downgrade by using the "Clear and  Start Over" feature.   See this FAQ and video:
