1099 Earner

[Boston52]

My independent contractor son receives a 1099 each year from his employer.. He is a photographer with many work expenses, travel, equipment, meals, gas, auto expenses etc.  I need to know the best version of Turbotax he should use. I can not find a clear answer to this question. Thank you

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.
