Carl, I agree with your recommendation of Home & Business or Self-Employed. Maybe my previous post wasn't completely clear. Working as a contractor certainly does require Schedule C, no matter what. But it's doesn't necessarily require Home & Business or Self-Employed, even using TurboTax Online. Online Premier or Deluxe can produce the required Schedule C (or C-EZ) if the income is in 1099-MISC box 7 and there are no expenses at all. If there is business or self-employment income that is not reported on a 1099-MISC, or if there are business expenses, then Self-Employed or the CD/Download software is required.
