I would need the deluxe version for 2017 filing, just trying to avoid purchasing both softwares if I can. Since I will have self employment income in 2018, I need this software version to submit quarterly taxes and need quickbooks to manage my business expenses. However it says quickbooks only comes free if you use the self-employed software to submit 2017 taxes by 4/17/18. Hence, this is why I want to purchase the self employed to use TurboTax/Quickbooks self-employed throughout 2018, and use it to submit my 2017 tax return. Just wondering if I can do this since I won’t have any self-employed income to report for 2017.
