Sorry for the confusion - I edited my answer:  Startup costs can only be deducted in the year you start business (after you open your doors).  So you can include the expenses incurred in 2017.

You should use TurboTax Self-Employed [Online] or TurboTax Home & Business [CD/Download], since you have expenses to report with the business.
