Just a few points....
LIVE expert help feature is only available in the Online versions not the Desktop CD/Download program. Yes for Online you would need to use the Self Employed version to enter self employment expenses.
It might be cheaper to buy the Desktop program. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions. So you could buy a lower version like Deluxe. And the Desktop program has more features than the Online version. Like you can see and enter into the actual forms. You can do unlimited returns. State preparation program is included (it costs to efile state but you can print and mail state for free). And other advantages.
A lot of us recommend Desktop over Online. But you don't get the extra Live expert help feature. You can call in for regular support or ask us here in the forum.
