I am on turbotax self employed, but am not self employed

I have been filling out my tax information, but did not realize I was on the self employed option till I went to review and pay. How can I go to regular turbotax without losing my information?

Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Sounds like you might be in a higher version of TurboTax that you don't need. Unfortunately, you won't be able to change versions of TurboTax without losing the information that you have already entered.

You can downgrade using the Clear and Start Over feature but bear in mind that the different TurboTax "flavors" handle different tax situations and their associated forms.

For example, if you want to downgrade from Deluxe to Federal Free Edition and you're itemizing (Schedule A), you can clear and start over with the free edition, but once you enter your itemized deductions in the free edition, you'll be asked to upgrade to Deluxe.

Here is a short list of some common tax situations and the online products that now uniquely support them:

If you are looking at TurboTax Federal Free Edition, keep in mind that this version is intended for taxpayers with very simple returns (Form 1040EZ filers with the standard deduction), for example first-time filers and students.
