why force me to upgrade to self-employed?

I am an employee with no side work. I'm using online Premier to prepare my tax return. After answering a few questions, I am forced to upgrade to self-employed. I don't declare any work expense, cost, etc. I'm just a normal employee.

Why am I forced to upgrade to self-employed? Does anyone encounter the same issue? Is it a bug?

Thanks.
