Does turbotax basic cover schedule c and self employment tax

I have tried several times to find out the correct answer online including Turbotax's site as to whether or not the Basic software   include a Schedule C without success.

Can someone please provide an clear answer??

Your icon indicates that you have the Apple download or CD version of TurboTax Basic. The download/CD version includes all forms including Schedules C & SE. It's the online versions that require up grades.

TT will probably try to sell you an upgrade as you navigate thru the interview, Just say no.
