You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs. All the Desktop programs have the same forms.  You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.

@SarahS9   Yes, the Desktop Home & Business version will let you file more than 1 schedule C.  Actually all the Desktop programs have all the same forms.  You just get more help in the Home & Business version.  Oh and the H&B versions can prepare W2 and 1099 forms to give to people you pay.  

 

The CD/Download Desktop you buy and install the program, which can do unlimited returns. The returns are only saved on your computer and can not be accessed from anywhere else. And not saved at Turbo Tax. So Be sure to save Frequently and make backups. You get 5 federal efile for free. In Deluxe and above you get 1 state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns (in that state). Each state return including the first one is $20 early or $25 to efile or you can print and mail the state for free. The Desktop programs do not have the expert help that is available to add to Online versions.

 

Desktop also has many other features and advantages over the Online version. You can do more than 1 return. You can see and enter into the actual forms. It has a What-If worksheet. And you can use a lower version because all the Desktop versions have ALL the same forms. You just get more help in the higher versions. In online you have to upgrade to enter certain kinds of income. Like Premier for investments.


And the Desktop program is always available even after the year ends. Which is good if you ever need to amend your return after online website is closed or get audited and need your tax records.

Have you received any word about  CD programs or downloaded programs for TY22 Home and Business trying installing as Deluxe.  I purchased both programs Deluxe and Home and Business and can't get Home and Business to either download and install or install from CD

@hopkins98   Why do you have both Deluxe and Home & Business?  You only need 1 personal program and can only install 1.   Deluxe has everything Home & Business has unless you need to prepare W2 or 1099 forms to give to someone.   All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions. 

Home & Business is for personal 1040 returns with extra help for Schedule C.  

And the Desktop programs can do unlimited returns and efile 5 for free.  You can't get more efiles by buying another program.
