Is there a way I can get past my birthday without it forcing me to use TurboTax delux?

Every time I enter my birthday, and hit continue, it automatically switches me to the deluxe version which I need to pay for because I'm 25

There's no way to bypass the birthdate. It's mandatory for the CRA and to use TurboTax Online. 

Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information on who can use Free:
