Only because the deal was to stop the government from having their own free version. This help filing would crimp the income flow to the uber patriots who make money from software to "help" you file. Nothing more patriotic than ripping off tax payers paying their taxes with bait and switch.
I helped my son file for free and it was difficult not to fall into the myriad pay for extra service traps. The software advised you that you would be better off using the pay version when income was only a few thousand dollars and dead simple. Worse than free antivirus to get the product promised.
