Which product to use?

chriscow2358 · ‎February 9, 2023

In 2022 my daughter was a full time student, will be claimed as a dependent on our tax return, had a full time job and also worked as an independent contractor - but received no 1099. She has some expenses (like mileage).

Which product is best to use to cover all of this?

I called in and was told just the Basic product, but I don't think that's right.

If she has self-employed income and expenses to claim against this income, she'll need to use TurboTax Deluxe or TurboTax Self-Employed (Online) if you have expenses to deduct or TurboTax Home and Business (CD/Download).

As she did not receive a form 1099-NEC, she'll report the self-employed income under Other self-employed income.

In business income, just under Type of Income, click on Add Income for this work
On the next page, click on the radio button next to Other Self-employed Income
Click Continue to enter your income received in cash, checks or bank transfers.

To claim expenses, she can follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help article.
