In the Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now. Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition?

Or go to the IRS Free File programs

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. Unemployment is one of the situations that are now in TurboTax Deluxe and TurboTax Live Deluxe, instead of in Free Edition.
