The Premium online edition is the equivalent to the TurboTax desktop edition of Home & Business.

What is it you are trying to do on the tax return?

I need to create and file an 1099 NEC for a handyman I paid for work on a rental property. My understanding is that I need the Home and Business product in order to do that.

You can use Online Premium. Here are several ways from before. Don't know if it is the same for this year.

To prepare W2s and 1099s in the Online Premium version you have to first start your personal return. Then when you log in you select Take me to my Return. Then the next screen should be the Welcome Back screen. At the bottom under Manage your Return it says Create W2s and 1099s. This will take you to the QEF Quick Employer Forms. If you are already in your return you can log out and back in again to get to the beginning screen.

Or in your return, Anywhere on any screen you see
Help me prepare and file W-2s and 1099s
Click on it and the side box will open, Then click on Quick Employer Forms in the side box.

OR Log into your account

Scroll down to Your Account and click on Show

Click on Create W-2s and 1099s
