I am an active duty service member. I'm trying to apply my military discount to turbo tax. I'm getting this message:

 

To accurately complete your taxes, you need to upgrade to TurboTax Deluxe
Why do I need to upgrade?
You have Interest and/or Dividends on a Schedule B.
TurboTax Free Edition is only for simple returns. It does not cover this situation.

 

I only interest I recieved was from my savings account. I did not recieve this error message last year when I had savings account interest and used Turbo Tax . Can you please assist? Thank you

    MILITARY DISCOUNT

    https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/military-edition.jsp

     

    (There are no military discounts on “Live” versions, the CD/download or on add-on features)

     

    In the My Info section of the program indicate that you are active military.  You must enter a Military W-2 in the Wages & Income section and after completing the W-2 on the screen labeled Let's check for uncommon situations you will need to check the box Active military duty

     

    When you are at the end of preparing your return you should not be charged,
