For an independent contractor like your son who has many business expenses (travel, equipment, meals, gas, auto expenses), the best TurboTax version is TurboTax Self-Employed.

This version is tailored for freelancers and small business owners. It helps report income on Schedule C and includes guidance for deducting business expenses like travel, meals, vehicle expenses, and equipment.

It also supports mileage tracking and can help find industry-specific deductions for photographers and other independent contractors.
