Which Versiin should I choose to be able to file a married filing joint return with a w2 that I can also use to file my 12 year old son's 1099-nec for his acting? He also has a lot of expenses like classes, clothes,pictures,etc. Is there a version that can work for both?

Your child's income does not go on your tax return. His income goes on his own return. Since he has self-employment income he needs online Premium or any version of the desktop download to prepare a Schedule C for his expenses. Or you might want to explore the options on the IRS Free File site:

You might also want to use free software from the IRS Free File versions:

You can still claim him as a dependent on your own return. On his return he must say that he can be claimed as someone else's dependent.

He will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, and possibly ordinary income tax, depending on how much he earned.

Your own return can be prepared using online Deluxe or any version of the desktop download.

Since you have TWO returns to prepare, you might want to use desktop software ---which can prepare and e-file up to five federal returns.
