Why is turbotax forcing me to upgrade in order to file my unemployment?

I cannot add my 1099-g to the free edition. It is making me upgrade in order to file. If I don't file it can't I be audited and fined? Im using the free edition because I am on unemployment... is this new?

The TurboTax Free online edition is for very simple tax returns that do not require any other form or schedule other than the Form 1040.  If your tax data requires entry on any other form or schedule then you must upgrade to the Deluxe edition or higher.

Unemployment compensation is entered on Schedule 1 Line 7 and that amount flows to the Form 1040 Line 8
