If you are allowed to get the free SE version to use for the 2017 return when you sign up with the QB SE program then go ahead & use it ... it is more program than you need but that won't hurt anything.

I would need the deluxe version for 2017 filing, just trying to avoid purchasing both softwares if I can. Since I will have self employment income in 2018, I need this software version to submit quarterly taxes and need quickbooks to manage my business expenses. However it says quickbooks only comes free if you use the self-employed software to submit 2017 taxes by 4/17/18. Hence, this is why I want to purchase the self employed to use TurboTax/Quickbooks self-employed throughout 2018, and use it to submit my 2017 tax return.

Then use the SE program as suggested ... this way you get the free program for a year. Don't let the name of the program throw you ... it has exactly the same things as the Deluxe plus some extra items you will not use. Actually everyone from a school kid with his first W-2 to a retired person on a pension can use the SE program it doesn't matter to the IRS at all.

Ok that is helpful thank you!
