My T4A slip is from my pension but why must I upgrade to professional self employed when I am retired?

I am not self employed but retired yet Turbotax will not allow me to continue to file with their deluxe program but is insisting I file with their upgraded self employed program. I have always filed with the deluxe program. Why must I file with a more expensive program now that I am retired?
