all I want is to get my copies of my simple tax return. it wants me to upgrade. I do not want to. it keeps telling me I have foreign financial account. I do not

It depends. Try this series of steps to remove this error message you may file your return without having to upgrade.

1. First check to see if you have a 1099 INT or 1099 DIV.  If there is a foreign tax paid amount reported in Box 6 of a 1099 INT or Box 7 in your 1099 DIV, then you may have a foreign account that you are not aware of. There are follow-up questions in those forms that you need to complete. 

If this isn't the issue, then try this to remove this error from your return: 

1. Federal or Federal Taxes if working in the desktop version
