Always used tt for self employed, file joint with wife her w2, my 1099 plus my ss.

2023 only worked 6 wks jan and fed. Abt 5k on 1099, plus abt 22k ss. Her w2 abt 50k.

We can file separately, she estimates 1.8k return. If sep, which tt ver best for me, considering my low income. I'm 79 yrs old.

It depends. If you have expenses for your 1099 work you will still want to file using TurboTax Self Employed Online or TurboTax Desktop Basic.

Self employment income filing requirement starts at $400. The reason is that self employment tax begins at the level.
